What a week! I have felt quite strong and I hope my blog writing has helped you in some way to cope with both your bereavement and your grief. As widows and widowers we need to share, we need to help each other….so each Sunday I post articles that will help us cope with our […]
As widows or widowers we often wonder how we can carry on…and when I find articles that show how people have successfully got their life back on track I love to share as a way of showing that as long as we believe, then we will get through this grief cycle.
I was reading on the […]
Yesterday I wrote about Words that make me shiver and smiled when the first two comments were about age. I smiled because people seem to think that when you are older you should be able to cope better - after all you have had the wonder of love for longer. The problem is that you […]
