Stress and Depression

It seems like the body goes into shock...great things happen at the same time you are facing a depressing life changing moment. It is difficult to continue putting on a happy face when you are doing something you SOOOOO do not want to do. We are having to move from Southern California back to Northern California. We moved into an area where the economy plummeted, and just cannot survive here. I am in real estate and with every other home in foreclosure that's not doing well, and my husband is a contractor, yeah...that's doing well... Having to uproot and move away is not my first, second, or even third choice. Now let's add in the emotional impact of my husband telling his family we are moving away from them. To say they took it badly is quite the understatement. Now, I know you cannot make decisions to please other people, but when you already don't want to go, it doesn't help. My husband is their only support and it comes at a time when they need it the most. After taking his comatose brother-in-law for a hospital visit, he had to break the news to his sister that he won't be able to help her anymore as we won't be living near by. Of course she took it badly, but surprisingly so did her kids. All cried and pleaded for us to stay. We have been not only their main support, but their only support. Junior needs someone in his corner, literally, as he has another boxing match scheduled in a few weeks. It is just sad when they are offering everything they have, and even what they don't have, to try to keep us here. It is difficult to put a positive spin on it with others, when you are so not into it yourself. I am now exploring all kinds of options to see if I can pull off a miracle....I'm having a flashback to the song..."All I need is a miracle...." Will try my best....
