A positive approach to helping others

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 […]

Crisis creates clarity

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 […]

What is a Widow’s Quest?

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
I […]

Making your living legacy

When you lose someone it brings home your own mortality, and it has made me think about how I want people to think about me when I die.

A story of hope

Our Brave Soldiers

We live in a world in which conflict is almost a “given”. I cannot imagine what the wives, husbands, partners of our armed forces are going through but I salute them.
Grief is an extremely powerful emotion, but what must it be like to be waving your loved one off - not knowing if you will […]

Does your mind play tricks?

When we are inactive our mind almost seems to create thoughts, it is as though if we don’t give it something to think about it fills the void. When we are grieving it is even more important not to let your mind rule you. I know the feeling of just “can’t be bothered” or “nothing […]

Our learnings from nature

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 Together

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 […]

Regaining your Family Love

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 […]
