I found out in my 30’s we had a great-aunt that spent most all her life in a mental ward. All we’ve been told is her mother died when she was 14-15 years old and she developed “Melancholia”. I often wonder if she was simply grieving/depressed and family, physicians didn’t understand how to deal with people like her. Breaks my heart that she lived such a sad life.

One of the reasons there are now ministries like this one.

Beginning Experience, a peer facilitated weekend for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one whether through death, divorce or separation.
