November 3rd, 2006

People soon forget your pain and grief

One reason that I am asking for entries for a Carnival on Sunday on how to turn your life around, is to highlight that as time goes by, the people around you may start to forget your pain. But that pain never goes away, it eases of course but the feeling of losing someone special NEVER […]

Shopping was so hard

I don’t know if you found this, but I found food shopping the toughest. Walking through the shop, watching couples, looking at food that I would have previously bought and suddenly buying half the amount. Somehow, I suddenly felt the loneliest person in the world and felt that everybody was looking at me.
Then one day […]

How to define friendship

I was speaking to someone today who had been disappointed by how people fall away after the initial mourning. She said a wonderful phrase that I thought I would share with you…
 ”People offer help, friends deliver it”
Friendship is a wonderful gift and the love of my friends will remain one of the key memories of […]

If tomorrow never comes….lessons from mourning

We understand how it feels to not get the chance to say what we really feel. I came across this poem by Stephanie Ineson that brought this home, and show how important it is not to have any regrets. Hope you like it.
Tomorrow - I’ll tell him just what he means,                                                                                                             That living and loving […]

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?

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 […]

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.
On my other blog for business The Engaging Brand I interviewed Rob Galford who has just written a book about living your legacy and one of his comments really […]
