We know that when we suffer loss we go through a grief cycle - Anger, Denial, Rejection, Acceptance and Integration. I can understand the process and also knowing that has helped me come to terms with the grief.

If you think about a heart, it needs blood flowing in and flowing out - it is a pump that protects your life. My aunt said to me the other day talked to me about how helps her heart.
She said “Your heart needs lifeblood flowing in….and I think that you can help this by exercise, […]
I have found since my loss that I have wanted to go out less, socialise…it all seems a waste of time or not what I want to do. The problem is that the more you are by yourself, the more you want to be and the less you interact with people. Tonight my best friend […]
