Well I experience my loss last May and for me it seems no one is with me at all. Now facing outsourcing of my job for the past 38 years. I was just starting to take interest in things again when I got that news, now, depression is constant, and yes, I am on meds, probably the only thing that makes me continue working until mid-March when we are dumped into a service, something I am not at all pleased about. I don't think I ever felt as much alone as I did the day I heard the news about the job. Won't get into religion here but, I don't feel that God is with me, against me is more like it. The year 2014 was horrible, 2015 looks about the same except that now I have no one to discuss decisions with. Sorry folks, just having a tough time after a weekend alone. -----Original Message----- From: optacon-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:optacon-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marsha Macchi Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2015 4:27 PM To: optacon-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [optacon-l] Re: Hubby Benny has passed Hi, Marsha here. Though I don't post much to this list, I was very sad to learn of your husband's passing. Having suffered a loss like this almost three years ago, I can well understand what you are going through as I went through this. Know this that God in his infinite mercy will give you peace through this time though it might not seem like it now. May the love of Him who knows all things go with you.
