I had found myself in a different state of mind when my fiancee' had suddenly passed away.
My depression came when I was confronted with life changes. I had decided to fight for a second chance at life.
The key ingredients for grasping a second chance in life is how you look at your past and how you see what your life could be.
When I had lost my boyfriend, (who later became my fiancee') of 10 years it was a very drastic life changing event. He and I had gone through a great deal together. We shared our good times and bad times together. He was my rock, my soul mate and very best friend.
When my sister died unexpectedly he was there for me to lean on his strong shoulders. When I had undergone two surgeries my soul mate Tony was there. When I had to take off for family medical leave for my severely disable son Tony was there for me to lean upon.
So now my rock is gone. Tony had died in his sleep on April 15, 2006. That was the worst day of my life.
My life had taken a turn for the worst when I no longer had Tony to lean upon. I felt as if my life just kept spiraling down and there was no end in sight for me.
I kept asking myself, "How low am I going to go?" I got through this with pray and counseling. I started making baby steps to where I wanted to be in my life. I moved from an apartment building in South St. Louis City , which turned into a haven for crime, to a house in North St. Louis County where my son was able to attend a school in the special school district; which served as a big improvement for him.
I had fought to obtain an increase in child support payments for my son and won. I had gotten my daughter back into school and she will graduate January 2008. My daughter plans to attend a community college in our area and for me I started back writing again and hope to soon complete my book about my life as an inspiration to others. No matter how hard things are and no matter where you had come from or had gone through Jesus will be with you every step of the way to make things good again.

That was very good and it makes me want to read more. I think you are and will be a great writer. You have so much to say and when you get it all down on paper it is going to be such a relief to get it off your chest and give you some peace. A definite inspiration to others. Keep up the great work.
