We both share the same treatment with depression/ anxiety, although she had been on it longer. I started my treatment with Paxil after my husband died. A wise doctor told me as I sat in his examination room that "Many people have gone through a lot worse" of course at the time I thought "What a horrible thing to say to a widow with two small children" but you know what?, he was absolutely right. I don't know if I ever told him that and I hope he reads this because I have learned his teaching over the years since. We all carry burdens, some maybe heavier than others. Thankfully we all have each other to lighten the load. We can understand each other's needs. I know too that the same doctor is going through some trials of his own, what he has been through in his past and now present with he and his family is not an easy one, even as believers, it can be a hard to comprehend "Why?" My love and prayers goes out to them as well.

Daily Learning
There is an Indian saying so true "Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes." Seems like I learn this lesson on a daily basis, which as it should be. My co-worker and I chat while we are working together and God Bless Her, through all her life, she has had one trial after another, some I am not sure I could bare if it happened to me. What an awesome person she is and still she knows how to smile and as she put it "Got To Go On!" I hope God always gives her strength to keep going too!

Maybe that is why the Good Lord gives us shoulders and gentle hands as a reassurance of security to help carry the load for every one of us who just needs a little help now and then.
