My Mother's Depression by Susan
My mother was a depressed person but when I was young I didn't know it. I didn't know anything about depression or anxiety. I only saw the behavior of someone who was angry at times and withdrawn at other times. Now I know it was depression.
My mother wrote poetry sometimes. I didn't know it until after she passed away in 1999. I must have gotten my love of writing poetry from her. The following poem was found among her things after she passed away. I believe it was written when she was in a state of depression....possibly after the loss of her mother or some other emotional event. The poem was dated September 12, 1972. I came across it again the other day and thought I would share it. Last Moments by Mary Rose I've often wondered if she actually felt this way in her last moments........... I feel very sad when I read this. I am glad however, that I understood about her depression in her later years and tried to be there for her as much as possible.
