There is an after life man, you'll see it when it's time.

What makes Scotland so dreary in winter is that it's always overcast, and it's windy and raining most days. It's just unpleasant to be outside. Lack of sunshine is strongy linked with seasonal depression and mood disorders.
Yes.
I do miss the sunshine. I'm not saying it's never sunny in Scotland, I'm just saying it's a lot less sunny than I'm used to, and yes, it does affect my mood. I try to make the most of the few sunny days, being outside as much as possible, unless it's one of those days where, while sunny, it's also raining sideways into your face. Like this week.

Also, there is insufficient evidence to suggest there is an afterlife. All we have is mythology and wishful thinking. Mainly the latter, because thinking about death as the end is quite a bummer. I bet you can not provide one single first-hand witness to support your opinion. I'll invoke the James Randi prize if I have to.

Gray, is Cariad Lloyd's (
https://play.acast.com/s/griefcast) GriefCast something you are familiar with?
I can't promise it will help, but it's well-regarded, and people I know personally have found it to be good, so I've taken to recommending that people give it a listen.

I'm not familiar with it, but I like her, she's funny. I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Gray, you're welcome to crash on my couch in Barcelona if you wanna hit some southern latitudes at some point to change air :)
Gray on 17/3/2019 at 14:17
I appreciate it. I've been to Barcelona just once, but it seemed like a lovely city. Trouble is, I hate travelling now with my insomnia, so I'll probably never go again.

How bad is your insomnia? Due to medical reasons, I rarely get more than 3 hours sleep per night, sometimes less. It rips me to shreds as I have 3 kids and work to deal with. Keep in mind I do have the opportunity to take a couple of quick naps during the day, otherwise I think i wouldnt be able to cope mentally.

If I'm lucky, maybe 4-5 hours a night, waking up a lot in between, and I get very poor sleep quality. My brain is pretty much scrambled. That is why I stopped moderating TTLG in the first place, I just couldn't keep up any more.
And trust me on this, grief and alcohol does not help.

I cant speak for grief, but yeh booze does not help. Thankfully I have the support of family and friends. I wish you the best.

I've been going to counseling after my mom died. I'm lucky my insurance covers it, but I highly recommend counseling for anyone who can get it. Everyone should have therapy. World would be a bit better that way.
