Q: Dear Susan,
Please, please help!! I am suffering from depression. I am 51 years old, my husband left me for a younger woman. I refuse to just wither away. What herbs do you recommend??
Any reply is greatly appreciated and honored.
Respectfully, V.
A: V., if you refuse that is great, you won't just wither away. Of course you are depressed. This is traumatic! You are 51 and vibrant. There are so many women of your age going through similar things. Talk with them please, know you are not alone. You are not alone!! Herbs won't take the situation away, or your healthy reaction to it. Plants can be friends, allies during our times of joy or sorrow. What plants are you drawn to? Nourishing herbs can help through any transition. I like to benefit from them in the form of infusions. Some herbs can help us ride through the toughest time, making it easier perhaps, but never taking the experience away. Motherwort tincture is a great ally for this. You can read about this and other support for those in depression in this article.
I would also love to invite you to our Wise Woman Forum and Email groups for more support. Really truly, you are not alone :)
Blessings,
Karen Joy
