How do you keep someone from falling into a depression?
Sometimes simply "being there" for someone just isn't enough. It breaks my heart to see my dad struggle with depression- focusing on the things he can no longer do instead of appreciating what he can do.

My name is Janiece, I had my heart transplant May 10, 2010. I completely understand the feelings your dad is going through. Here are some posts on my blog.

It is hard... and some days are harder than other. Get him out of the house...even if it just for a ride. I found myself just staying in my bedroom and looking back made it worse. Take him for rides so he doesn't have to get dress if he doesn't feel up to it....just go.. make memories.
