About Me
I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. You don't have South Africa on the state list. I'm a freelance writer and journalist, I am married and have 2 children, one son Marco 14 and another son Emile in heaven, forever 20. I am spiritual and aim to get closer to my creator.
Interests
I love reading and being close to nature. I read a lot about spiritualism and I believe God is everywhere and in everything. I also believe in angels. Nothing in this world happens without a reason. Even the most painful things have a reason and we have a lesson to learn from it all. We don't see it now, but one day our eyes will be open to the truth. I can't believe my son died in vain.

Hug
If at times you feel you want to cry And life seems such a trial Above the clouds theres a bright blue sky So make your tears a smile. As you travel on lifes way With its many ups and downs Remember its quite true to say One smile is worth a dozen frowns. Among the worlds expensive things A smile is very cheap And when you give a smile away, You get one back to keep. Happiness comes at times to all But sadness comes unbidden And sometimes a few tears must fall Among the laughter hidden. So when friends have sadness on their face And troubles round them piled The world will seem a better place And all because you smiled.
Hug

Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
My son Emile, 20 committed suicide on 5 Febr 2006. After reading a lot about mental illnesses I realised I have PTSD. I need help coping.
Treatments
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- It is helping with the depression and anxiety to a point.
Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildMy son Emile, 20, committed suicide on 5 Febr 2006, 7 weeks before his 21st birthday. This is the most unbearable pain for me to go thru. I miss him each minute of each day. The question of why he did it drives me insane. I don't know how I will ever be able to live without him.
Treatments
- Crying Not Working
- I have never cried so much in all my life. And time doesn't heal this wound. It seems to be getting worse every day.
- Grief Counseling Not Working
- Prayer Working / Worked
- It gives me some relief. The thought that Emile is with God now is the only thing that keeps me going on.
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- It helps for the depression and anxiety, but the pain can't be treated with any meds.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have been suffering with depression for about 10 years now. After my son suicided in Febr this year it got much worse. I was on prozac at the time and I became suicidal and suffered from acute anxiety. The dr changed me to effexor and it has been a lot of help to me.
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- It work much better than prozac. It took away the anxiety and I feel like living again.
- Prozac Not Working
- It worked before I lost my son to suicide, then it caused suicidal ideationa and accute anxiety.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- It helps me sleep, or ewlse I stay awake at night thinking the whole time about the if's and why's and what if's.
