What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
Those who read this blog will know that for more than a year I’ve been facing problems. Not as severe as in other parts of the world, but personal ones.
I was lucky to get some counselling and then earlier this year cognitive behavioural therapy. I would encourage anyone who is struggling to go for either of them. I can’t explain, but I feel more in control of the situation than I think I would have done without them. Talking therapy does work.
Now I’m going through more problems, and looking back, well I can see some clues of how I can cope. It won’t be easy.
Sympathy cards appear through the door. I am thankful for them too. I wish people would knock on the door though, so I can say thank you. I think people are afraid of hurting me. I would say when you are in grief every hug counts.

Counseling helped me so much. Your post made me think of when my neighbor’s husband died. He was very old, had Alzheimers, etc. I sent her a big bouquet of flowers and went over the next week with banana bread. We sat and talked and as we talked she kept her hand on the flowers which were on the coffee table. Then she said, “No one ever sent me flowers, Martha. Thank you.” That’s when I learned how much it can mean to someone to have a living, breathing person there in the room after a big loss. ❤
