that feeling of melancholy by acknowledging it! Times like these really do dredge up the memories of incalculable losses that you have endured. Having lost my dear husband 8 years ago, I hope I have a bit of understanding of what you are experiencing. Sometimes we just fall back into barely inching along instead of getting along okay. My heart goes out to you. The suggestion of your local Democratic Party is a good idea. I became more active in mine and it does help. If you can find out who your precinct committee person is , they will have information for you of active Dem voters that live near you. I found out this way and we go as a group to events. Instead of depressing ourselves by watching the inauguration, we are going to a Martin Luther King march that starts at a park and ends at a theater for an event. Please keep posting and updating us through thick and thin. Sending gentle hugs.
