A gursikh

(REPLY) Sat Nam. I am sorry to hear of your loss of a loved one, and to learn of your suffering now. If you are indeed, a Gursikh, then turn to the Guru for help, guidance, and consolation. Start each day by reading your morning banis, and meditating and chanting God's Name, and pray for help. Perhaps your physical health is not right, and is affecting your attitude, so check check-up from a doctor. Depression and discouragment can sometimes be the result of some glandular misfunction. Are you getting any exercise? there are so many possible causes for your situation, so you need to explore all kinds of solutions. But the main thing is that you have Shabd Guru, the Siri Guru Granth Sahib as your resource and support, use it! Guru is to be EXPERIENCED by reciting Guru's words, and singing Gurbani Kirtan. May God and Guru guide you and inspire you to the excellence that is your destiny. Keep up, and you will be kept up! Blessings, SP
