my wife is having a hard time

She is very upset about the ways of the world. Upset with politics, trade wars, racism. She is really having a hard time.
I guess we all are.
Pray for her!
Thanks

My wife’s dad died election night. Not at all unexpected, a hospice nurse was there.

She’s having health problems but I finally got her a doctor. Her Dad wasn’t much on medicine. Incredible guy.

This crap isn’t helping.

Since November 2016, I realized that I was trying to live with anxiety and depression. Finally completely fell apart the day after Christmas 2023.

I had to pull back from news and politics (and find a wonderful therapist) (plus Prozac).

It has taken me a full year to get my head above water.

Maybe encourage her to pull back from the news and take care of herself.

Wish her well for me.
