World’s Apart, World’s Together

Blogging and indeed having all your wonderful comments, really shows me that no matter what culture, how the grief has occurred – the feeling of loss is the same worldwide. Blogging has been a great comfort to me to know that I am not alone, that I am not daft because at times I haven’t coped very well.

Grief really is a universal feeling, one that brings all people together. Blogging is like that too….some things that I have learned about the grief process over the last couple of weeks

• Nothing is like receiving comforting words from people who care and who understand.
• If you are open to support…you are never truly alone.  
• Time heals but hearts never forget
• No one knows the answers for grieving…..but we do know that the answers are different for each person.
• Talking about your feelings helps put things in perspective.
• As unique as we all are, when it comes to feelings are we really unique?

I want to thank you all for your support and kindness – here is a virtual hug to you all!
