I could be depressed after losing my beloved husband of 15 short years, to a 5 yr, 8 month battle with stage 4 kidney cancer in Jan of this year (2013). But, though I'm sometimes numbing grief over the loss of Kevin, I'm not using it as an excuse to let me health continue to go to h*ll. He inspires me and encourages me, even from Heaven to LOVE myself, as he did our whole marriage. He's proud of me, and I am too.

<--I'm in teal, and he's the one in red- trust that!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how you feel.

And you're right, he wouldn't want your health to suffer. I hope things will feel better when you take charge of your health.

Welcome. This is a great group of people and a wonderful source of info!

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. This hug is from me to you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
