The serious grief may be remaining too much of a constant for him to deal with. My approach suggested is a distraction or a refocus. I know it is very hard but still better than the alternative. Sometimes you just have to force yourself out of a slump. |

From personal observation I have seen what serious back problems can do to individuals. Any serious disability can do what it has done to you. Compounding it with the loss of a daughter has to be very hard as well. Yes I do understand the chronic depression factor. Hopefully you do not have chronic pain as well. The general condition I am in at age 74 I am very thankful for. I am starting to lose energy and strength but still in much better than average condition for my age group. My days of doing certain things are past but only reciently so. It just is what it is. You have a lot of us older guys on this site with compassion and understanding. Life can throw some awful dice. |

See here for example => Mercedes-Benz ML-Class W163 1998 - Car Review | Honest John I'm sure as with all cars they can be brought up to a standard where people can cope with them and perhaps even reach a stage where they are happy with them - but is it worth it? If they weren't built nicely in the first place then you've got an up hill struggle... ...if you want a better option of the same age then I suggest you consider something like this => Mercedes-Benz E-Class W211 2002 - Car Review | Honest John Loads of people on this forum bang on about the E320 CDI being a nice choice
