Hello everyone,

How are you doing today?

Many people are affected by reduced sunlight in the winter which can cause seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Others are affected by summer seasonal affective disorder. Heat, humidity, and pollen are likely to cause summer sadness.

Do you suffer from summer sadness? Or do you find yourself more affected by the lack of sunlight in the winter? What elements cause your sadness?

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team

I have sadness all year round, as it gets very lonely on your own. i have been on my own 29 years since my wife became an angel in heaven, today would have been our 55th wedding anniversary. so i have taken some Red and White roses to her grave. i will do the same next month on her birthday. Christine was taken by the angels when she was 45 and was living with terminal Cancer

Hi Lizzi am so low and sad at the moment, my wonderful dad passed in December and haven't been myself since then, I have Multiple Sclerosis and my stress and anxiety has exaggerated my symptoms. I have no motivation and am suffering with fatigue but can't sleep haven't had a full night sleep since my dad's passing, thankyou for your lovely message Karen Thompson xxxxx

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

Lizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends

this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?
