Lew, I had ECT a few years ago and it didn't help me, however it has helped many.I found out after the process that I was bipolar and it doesn't help many bipolars in a depressed state.... It was being given to me for depression.
If you are looking for away to wipe out your memories of your horrible tragedy it will not do that.
Some people are able to recover from major tragedies in approx 6 months time. If not they can suffer from major depression which is I would assume where you are at.You definately need good counselling and the right anti depressant. I know they are hard to find but they are out there.My brother lost his wife and 12 yr old son in a car accident while he was driving...he went thru something similar to you...it took him 4 yrs and many different counsellors but he pulled thru.....
good luck...keep working at it and I am sure it will happen..I am so sorry for your loss...
