We all have our days....however, I have a close friend that I think is going through depression. She is a nurse friend and can not decide if she wants to retire, but was recent let go from her last job and that is not fun for anyone. She has her Master Degree, but there are not a lot of openings in management right now as I know since I am looking for work as well. She just turned 60 years old so she is at the age where her health insurance is at the most expensive rate and her husband is retired. She could afford to retire, but did not plan on it so she would have to make a few adjustments. I think she should meet with a financial planner and with the health problems that both her and her husband have they should downsize and sell their large expensive home since they have difficulty keeping up with the yard work. Needless to say, they procrastinate and she is in a funk. I try getting her to go for a walk and she will only go for a block and complains the whole way. Yet then she also is concerned about her diabetes that has developed and her weight gain. I have another close nursing friend that we would like to sit down and talk to her about depression and getting some treatment and our concerns about her health. So I made this card for her as the ice breaker or appetizer to start the conversation. The sentiment is from TLC, Create.
