Found a New Life after the Loss of Daughter
Since the loss of my daughter, in July (2005), I have found nothing pleasurable, little to no motivation to do anything more than what is robotically there to do each day at work. When I stop moving and my mind has the opportunity to ‘think’ the realization can often be too much to bear.
