Sorry to hear about your mom, bro.
I lost my dad this year and it's been rough - very bad '02 all around.
I've also been on Paxil during this time and I don't know what I would have done w/ out that particular SSRI. (also having an incredible marital crisis...).
By being on these SSRIs and everything else, Idon't even feel I've been able to properly mourn my father's death from October.
I just hope '03 is going to bring some great things for me.
