What Is The Prognosis For A Depressed Heart Patient?

Hello, I am a 54 year old male. married for 24 years. 2 years ago I was fired from a job I had been there for 7 1/2 years. 6 months before, around x-mas I was given a $7500 bonus. I started this job at 10 per hour and was making 22.00 when I left. I was fired the day after having a small stroke. I was fired the next day. Since then we have sold our house and have been living on equity. This wont last much longer and I cant find the drive to go back to the workforce. I am not afraid of death and would like to leave my wife something before I go. I no longer receive any enjoyment from anything, and am just waiting to die. I expect no miracles.
