Widows Quest

Thanksgiving Thought for Us

by anna on November 17th, 2007

This time of year is hard as we miss the people who are no longer with us to share the holiday times. But I like to see it as a chance to

1) Pay THANKS to my lost loved one for GIVING me the most wonderful years of my life. After all we can we may miss them but we were lucky enough to have had them in our lives and to have felt happiness with them.

2) Ensure that I am GIVING to others to show THANKS for them being in my life.

Thanks and Giving are 2 such underutilized words and actions in the world today. As widows or people who have felt the pain of loss, we should be at the forefront of giving thanks, of thanking others for giving…..we have had support, we have had love which has helped us through some of the rougher times in lives..how can we repay that support? By giving that support to others who may need that love   as much as we do.

Have a wonderful holiday and I would like to THANK YOU for GIVING me a purpose during the most difficult years of my life.
