When you lose someone, it is a chance to think about your view on life. Oprah Winfrey has a wonderful quote
“The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.”
I have learned that bereavement can help you become that complete person. It is during the hard times […]
Franklin Roosevelt once said
“Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.”
As widows or widowers, we can blame fate….we can be angry at what the world has thrown at us in terms of the grieving process, we can be angry about the death of a loved one. If we stay […]
Losing someone you love is hard, I wonder what it must be like to be Britney Spears family or friends ? I know Britney is alive and kicking, but in so many ways they are losing the real daughter, the real friend, the real sister…they must feel helpless.
That sense of losing someone you love in […]
As many of you know - and also feel - the wars around the world cause me such pain. It is the loss of life, the futility of losing loved ones. After losing someone close to you, you value life..you don’t want anyone to suffer the pain of bereavement. The stories of the war tend […]

The rain is like our grief. Our tears flow and flow, our outlook feels dark with no sign of relief.
The rainbow is like our journey. It is a bridge to the future. The […]
Based on the feedback from previous posts I think we all struggle with self-worth. Our grief has affected the way we look at ourselves, our confidence has drained away. Well, let’s try and help each other!
Let us think of 3 things that we value about ourselves and maybe pass this post on to friends who […]
I was babysitting and my friend’s little girl came and sat on my knee. She looked at me and said “When I lost my baby rabbit, I was upset but then I went and got a bandage for my heart. They are great in helping you feel better.”
Intrigued I said “A bandage? Have you […]
I wrote yesterday about my isolated feeling over the weekend. I have thought about it overnight and here are my reflections
