Thank you John and as a fellow survivor I was lucky my partner was willing to put up with the dark times.

Wow, this is an amazing write, I love how you wove the mind's confusion with haze and delivered a poignant wave of sadness within the lost life at the end! Sometimes the mind can only be cured by death...or the life of God, thus the eloquence of life can be stymied by the depression expressed by some! You poem is quite sad but done in a spectacular way, I loved the way you did it! What a grand piece, Great Work!!
