Anniversary

Posted by allisonm on July 20, 2004, at 8:51:22

Six years ago today, my alcoholic mother died unexpectedly. It was the day after my 12th wedding anniversary and nine days after my then-husband had moved out of the house. Already battling major depression, I felt devastated.
Now, as I look back I see much progress. I have learned how to be my own person rather than to live in the shadow of someone else. I have learned to live alone and to love it. I've attained the courage to quit a miserable job and go back to school to learn more about something I am truly passionate.
There were many times I considered suicide -- particularly in the first three years. I am glad I held on and stuck it out. Good things CAN happen in time.
