Happiness is a short term emotional response. To be happy all the time is the same as being high on drugs all the time. Its not healthy.
A person can learn to be content and that state can be maintained at all times- but content people are content because they do not strive for more or better. They are content because they do not live their lives for material things and superficial things but for a higher purpose.

Im so sorry to hear that miss and I hope you continue on with whatever lies ahead

There you go... look forward. I’m sorry to hear of your loss.

Living in the present is the best strategy.

I hope you fair well on here - ignore the haters on here if they come your way - just use the block button some on any site like this prey on the vulnerable.

I wish you well in getting back to living your life again and I'm so sorry about your husband

Sorry to hear about your husband,it must be hell for you and your kids.if you stay on this site you will make some friends that would be glad to help you with your issues.

Putting yourself out here is a risk. We have our share of negativity. But if you have survived your own experiences, I suspect you are strong enough to survive us. Good Luck.😉

Happiness is temporary and that's why it's valuable, one can bullshit themselves through optimism to close their eyes to every harsh reality but shit times make us appreciate good times

I understand why you stayed away from social media, but more importantly - you are brave and have really stepped up for your children!

Welcome to some here,in the married with family community,who can listen,laugh and sympathise how you've been feeling,and continue to feel

Wow... interesting. I agree with others... you have proven strong and resilient, and continue to be so for your children. Very good.

There is nothing i can say to make this better. Just be strong for the kids and have some time for yourself

Glad you are able to move forward, cannot imagine what you have had to go through

I wish you all the best, comfort, inner strength and many sunny days with your kids.

My kids and grand kids are my life and they keep me going.

Live your life Emily. Only go around once.

That's the spirit. Always face your fears.

I pray you find strength, happiness, and peace

Life is beautiful connect with right set of people

So sorry for your loss and good luck in the furure.

You are a strong and kind woman. Never change.

All the best and my prayers.

You are truly a strong woman
