Absolutely beautifully written. I was drawn in immediately. You can feel the desperation you once had, and the love for your wife. Gradatide shines here as well

    Thank you for your lovely review. I was at one point desperate as the darkness was all too consuming. Now having gone through that period life has a wholly different meaning. I stand in my garden an hear the birds singing and smell the freshly mown lawn.
    Thank you and take care.

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.

beloved wife. Glad to hear with her help you overcame.

I will have to show this poem of yours to my wife. God and my wife have saved my life. I enjoyed your poem very much. " This line affected me the most."

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
