I wrote about this on my other blog - The Engaging Brand but wanted to share it with you as well. When we grieve, when we lose people that we love, then we can all suffer from people not understanding or even family disputes happening when people forget the feelings of others. Let me share […]
When we grieve we can become angry, we can hate what has happened to us and our loved ones. Anger is a normal reaction, however I am always reminded of a quote from Mahatma Ghandi
“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
As widows and widowers we need to be strong and […]
Agatha Christie said
“I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about…It is […]
I posted yesterday about Is there life after death, and Diane wrote such wonderful words that I wanted to share them with you. She also left a link to the Waterbug story
“I believe that the loss of a loved one does change you forever but that the change isn’t always a bad thing. The days […]

This weekend I was thinking about life in general….and asked myself is there anything about the emotional side of life that is logical?

Death causes you to think back into history. Today I was thinking of when I was a child and Dad taught me 2 key thoughts to help me in my various sporting challenges
Don’t fear winning, don’t fear losing…just enjoy the moment. When you enjoy it, you become better.
Win well. Lose well. There is nothing wrong […]
I look at Burma, I look at the earthquake in China, I look at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I look at the seemingly nonsensical killings on our streets….death seems to surround us. There is part of me that sees the world almost getting used to death on a large scale….then there is another […]
Families all suffer a death at some point, as families are made up of diverse human beings it can be easy for conflict to arise. Grief is emotional, grief stirs different emotions in each person. One thing I have found is that there is no one way that people cope with bereavement - we all […]
