I am so sorry for your loss, I truly am.
The monster can be defeated, but there are times when he digs his claws in so deep. That's how it was my first time. I was about to pull the trigger when my dog walked in shaking his head, that was in '98.
So I had/have a real problem with the demons.
I have a great psychiatrist and a great therapist because my demons are always in the back of my head.
Things are looking up, now.
