Profound loss and effect on emotions

Posted by Janet on 2/24/2009, 2:14 pm

I am an only child, now aged 52. I lost my dad in 1998, my 8 yr old daughter to cancer in 2000, my mom 5 weeks later. My husband left me in 2001 and my only remaining child, a 19 yr old left in 2004 and I haven't heard from her since. I remarried in 2004 and have since lost all the money I had left from my parents, my house, my car, and lastly my job (my 2nd husband was an alcoholic and went through it all). I just don't seem to care about anything. I don't keep my house as clean as I did the old one, I've gained weight, I don't care to plant flowers, or do a whole lot of anything. My 2nd husband and I had planned to adopt, but lost our chance when he got a DWI in November of last year. I lost my job due to that charge a few days later...Is my apathy normal? I just want to be happy again.
