When you lose your partner, the fear of loneliness can be immense . However, there is an old saying that there is nothing to fear but fear itself and that is true when you suffer bereavement.
You were alive before you fell in love and capable of living alone. We forget that we are an individual […]
I was travelling back from London yesterday and was joined on the train by an old lady who really touched my heart. I started to speak to her and found out that she was riddled with cancer and living on borrowed time. She was laughing at the thought that she should not have been on […]
When I was 17 I fell ill, and was paralysed and in a wheelchair for about 6 months. During that time people told me to come to terms with not walking again, I never accepted that…and carried on exercising my legs with the use of my arms. Why am I writing about this? Well, your […]

It doesn’t solve anything, but it does allow you to express your fears, and sorrow. It is funny how it helps, even when they cannot offer advice or if they have not […]
I still wish that somebody would find a remedy for the aching heart, when I spoke to my Auntie she gave me a wonderful piece of relationship advice. She said “To help overcome the pain of a lost relationship, you must forgive yourself”
At first, I didn’t understand forgive myself, his death was not something I […]
He understood me, he understood my uniqueness….what made me who I am. Of course I miss the physical hugs and presence but the void for me was the emotional support. Every one of us is unique, every one of us have a different DNA makeup….and somehow he understood me. He knew my thoughts or reaction before I ever […]
I feel proud to work with some of the best writers on the blogosphere, and this week we wanted to share our aims for each of our blogs. Each blog has written a mission statement ( what we want to achieve by writing our blogs) and as you can see there are some wonderful aims […]
