In grief we talk about being heartbroken, what I want to suggest is that our heart is NOT broken, it is still capable of loving again, it is still beating to keep us alive. Maybe what we should say is that we are heart - cracked!
I often think that the words we use, don’t help […]
I never understand why we say we have lost someone - we haven’t lost them, we know where they are? We have also not lost the

When Dad died I was devastated and still am….we had a strange relationship in many ways. We were so similar and yet found it difficult later in life to connect. I still don’t understand why….

There are days when all of us wonder whether the pain is worth it, when we have no fight left in our body, when we cannot face waking up the next morning….

A great quote on love and a thought for this weekend from John Middleton Murry
