Reading this took me through so many emotions; returning to France right after my father's funeral was one of the most devastating times of my life. I felt so alone. It definitely took a toll on my marriage, but thankfully, my husband has the love and patience of a saint, but heaven knows, it wasn't easy.

And this: "I think it is so important to look at the trials in your past as stepping stones of change to the person you have become today", is EXACTLY how I feel. x.

What an inspirational post on making difficult changes to result in a greater change in the long run! I’m not sure thats sentence made sense but it’s how I feel about it.
I think it’s great you came off the drugs, I feel like in America they are all too quick to hand over prescription meds and not deal with real issues through talking, exercise or an improved diet which are all natural remedies for depression.
You are an inspiration Bonnie

To have lost a parent and not be able to find comfort in your spouse would be debilitating. Cory lost his mother in 2008 (she was 49), so I have been on the other side of this scenario – the spouse who is there to offer comfort. You are such a strong girl to be able to get through a crisis on your own and come out better for it. I am so glad that that summer taught you what you needed to know so you could get to where you are today. I’m looking forward to your new series. I just read your most recent one!

Thank you for this Bonnie, I'm truly sorry for the loss of your father and I would like to add that your story was so inspiring that it kept me wanting more! Have you ever considered writing books? You write so well that I could almost feel what you were feeling.. of course in reality I don't know your pain but you were able to describe it so very well.
I hope the rest of your week is great!
Thank you for sharing this! I needed it!

Oh Bonnie! Wow. I’m so glad you shared this. Also – I love that you are starting this series because I can definitely relate and will be looking forward to it. I’m glad that you had that salon and that they were able to help you through that summer. And now you and the hubbs have celebrated 10 years of staying true to those vows, even if it means a little time away to organize yourself!!

It is so important for people to share their experiences through tough times, and finding the way through them, as it gives hope to others when there seems to be no let up on the bad and no light to focus on. Thanks for sharing, Bonnie xXx

Great verse, btw! What a difficult time! Reading your posts about your family and your dad, I knew this must have been a very difficult time for you. I can only imagine. I am constantly reminding myself that there are 2 sides to every story. I was reminded yesterday when I started having a tad bit of a judgmental attitude about a situation. Once they explained further I completely understand why they proceeded this way. It’s always a good reminder that we don’t alway know or even need to know the whole story, we just need to support each other through those times. Even if all we can simply do is pray for that person! Great post, Bonnie!
