Dear Matthew, nothing could be worse than what you and your wife experienced. Thank you for being so open. Nothing could hurt more and it is very understandable sadness can have no meaning now. Ii is wonderful you can still be in love w joy and happy endings

Depression is a state of mind. Done it and wrote a post card. Goodnight x

Hello Matthew , when I read your original post , I had two thoughts
1 something has hit you hard and you were in quite a severe depression and I honestly didn’t know what to say, my wife suffers from depression and sometimes it’s just best to let her get through it
2 I must admit, I thought it’s your life your choice, I have potentially 10 -15 years of slowly declining and sometimes I wish it would get it over and done with quickly. And was probably a bit jealous , there’s a turn up, somebody jealous of your illness...
Glad you have been able to get your thoughts out and not bottled it all. Keep going Matthew I hope we will all be here to support you as need.

Although I have only posted a few times on the forum, I have always noticed your posts as you are so honest and say it as it is. I admire and appreciate that. Don’t change, and know that , as a fellow sufferer/ warrior, I understand where you’re coming from. Stay strong. It’s the best we can do.
love, Lizzie x

It's good to have you back Matthew... We missed you ! As Ellie said you really don't need to explain an absence from our forum.

I am so very sorry about your daughter. We lost our little girl when she was five. I have no idea how we survived except I had to keep going for our two younger children. I was and still am totally over protective of them. It certainly changes your perspective on life and I really appreciate your feelings.I am not pretending to understand because we all try to cope differently.

Thank you for sharing. Love and hugs to you.
