About Me
I am a Sales Rep in Home Depot, I work 40 hrs. a week. I have recently lost my husband of 40 yrs. to esophageal cancer. I used to like Fishing, but this is something my husband and I did together, so the passion for that is gone. It has been 4 months and I feel like I am getting worser, I cannot talk or think about him without crying. I am on antidepressants, they seem to help but not for long.
