This is always a timely read for me. As the article says, the grieving process for us with MS is legitimate and may need a different approach than the traditional antidepressants. Those have never helped me but it has helped lighten my emotional load to recognize that my grieving process is the result of MS. It has also helped me map appropriate coping strategies.
