Hi Molly and welcome to our depression group. I, too, am sorry for your loss. I've been depressed off and on since I was 3 when my father died and nobody would tell me what happened to him. Why? That's a difficult question. If you were not depressed before your father died, you could be in a reactive depression. But even if it is reactive and you get it cleared up, it could come back at some time. I think, Sweetie, that we all ask why at times. Are you getting any treatment - like antidepressants or therapy? Both can be very helpful. We are a warm, non-judgmental group, so feel free to rant, rave, tell us good things when they happen, or share whatever you feel like sharing. You are in the right place. Please let us know how you're doing. We care and we understand. Warm welcoming wishes, Sylvia 'I didn't have time to write a short [post].' Mark Twain wrote that one for me. LOL

NOTE: I can't imagine anyone is surprised that distracted driving has overtaken drunk driving as the number one cause of death on the road. Please, y'all, keep your eyes sharp when you drive. The guy in the next car could be on a computer in the dash board (whoever dreamed that up should have to watch autopsies), while the one behind you is texting. It's important to be aware of those around you. The kid who ended my second to last life was in a huge SUV and on the telephone.
