Touching, well written, and a tribute to your wife. You are right depression strikes everyone one time or another. But if you have someone, family or friend, you are lucky and blessed. I believe we should all lift each other up and not tare each other down.

Beautiful writing. I could see and feel emptiness at the beginning to being well loved and flourishing from the blessing that you receive from having a wonderful wife and your life.
The people in our life can make us or break us.

This poem is incredibly moving and full of raw emotion. I'm really struck by how beautifully you share the depth of pain and the healing power of love. The way you describe her unwavering support and how her patience and care helped you through the darkest times is so touching. It's such a heartfelt tribute to your wife and the love that saved you. It's inspiring and full of gratitude and I think anyone reading this would feel that. Beautiful poem!

    Thank you for your warm words Michael. Even though I have been in recovery for many recounting this period brought me to tears, old and grizzled as I maybe!
    Bless you and take care
