Ann* from Ireland fell into a deep depression after losing her husband of almost 40 years. In describing her experience to reporter Cróna Esler of Western People, Ann said that “every single day was a struggle.”
Unlike many of us who have suffered from depression most of our lives, Ann’s depression was triggered by a profound loss. Like many of us, Ann struggled with the social stigma of depression.
Thankfully, her close friend Linda urged Ann to seek help.
Ann began attending support / awareness group meetings and found them worthwhile even when the first step had always seemed the most difficult.
