text: three years ago my husband died very suddenly of a heart attack. i was a very strong person,easy going, not? much bothered me. i also worked in nursing home where i so many dear people pass away. but since my husband,i am being treated for depression, panic attacks, which have lessened but i still get pains and just feel nausious and lousy quite a lot. when i feel this way i think i'm going to have a heart attack also. will this ever go away and can i ever feel like i used to? please, its been three years! i know you feel depressed and overwhelmed with the loss of your husband. but it will get better with time. i am on the same boat you are on i was diagnosed with post traumatic stress syndrom and was getting panic attacks for a long time. the only way to battle this is to get out and enjoy life. i was like this for 7 years but because i let depression get to me and i didnt get out i let myself spend years of my life alone. dont let this happen to you because you will regret it in the end. i wish i could help you more but all i can offer is advice. goodluck  think about what your husband would want.  oh another thing i used to get nausea alot also what i would do is chew sugarless gum and it would take my mind off people around me or my stomach i hope i helped.
