One of the great aspects of blogging is that there is a huge amount of support forums on line. B5 media always give you the impression that you are not on your own. That is a great feeling when you are feeling low.
This made me think of how you could develop your own support group […]

What is strange is that when a “crisis” happens in your life, this can lead to greater clarity. I don’t know if you are the same but when you suffer loss, you start to think about what you really want out of life. Suddenly, life seems short to be unhappy?
That happened to me and the […]

So here is the definition of a quest
Quest = “a long and difficult search”
I think that is a great summary of what we all go through. I don’t know about you but at the beginning I didn’t even know what I was searching for, or indeed if I wanted to search! This is my experience

When I was out walking late yesterday, I looked at the trees and saw the leaves turning brown, starting to fall, flowers beginning to wane. Then I saw the winter shrubbery starting to come out with some of the strongest colours you could possibly imagine.
All of this reminded me that life is eternal, as the […]

Sharing is another wonderful aspect of life….comments this weekend from Noreen and Carol are great on how to share with your family.
When you think about it sharing was a wonderful part of your relationship and actually part of the love that formed between you. They may be gone but you share even now:- children are […]

When I suffered loss, the one “immediate gain” was how we grew closer as a family. A long story of how we had drifted apart but the loss illustrated to us how important family is, how being there for each other and having a healthy love should not be underestimated. Here are the lessons that […]
