EPILOGUE

FOREWORD

It is truly unfortunate that many view depression in a negative way. More unfortunate is that even people suffering from depression are discriminated. The stigma forces them to retreat; worst, the isolation can overwhelm them with sadness, guilt and helplessness. How many lives were lost because they can no longer be involved in life and because they no longer have the ability to motivate themselves or follow through with ideas that would help them?

The story of Julius J. Cruz proves healing can happen and people can bounce back and be victorious over depression. I admire the selflessness of Julius to willingly share his story so that others may know there is hope and depression can be treated. This little book permeates with inspiration. Whether you know one who has depression or you are suffering from depression, this book and this story of Julius will remind you and help you understand that depression is not an end-of-line thing.

By sharing his story, Julius reaches out to everyone in the midst of depression. Reaching out is a bigger help than one will realize. And lastly, don’t forget to pray for those who suffer from depression. Prayer is a powerful tool in the healing process.

Read the book and share the story of Julius. Value the worth of every individual and let them feel you are available to walk with them and through to full healing. We can be victorious over depression. Julius is a living example.
