Please always go to a doctor should you feel in pain and take the prescribed treatment.
I have a personal interest in meditation and I have found it has helped me cope with a chronic lung disease. I used to give you some youtube links but I find the ads really annoying, especially when I am trying to relax!! 😃 I don’t know about you.
For cancer sufferers there is a section on how to cope with chemotherapy, which I found useful.
Basically I just plug my earphones in my iphone and close my eyes, and the music and the voice rock-a-bye baby 👶🏻 !!
You must choose a voice you like, if not it becomes aggravating.
So I encountered this lady’s work on youtube as I was grieving for Dad and I cried and cried, it all came out so warm was her voice, beautiful was the imagery.
I give you the link underneath as an example I have posted it a while ago.
I hope you are feeling more rested and better this afternoon. I am sitting in the sun...😊🌞 watching my girls build a nest out of grass and daisys😂. I'm banking the moment 😉.
Thankyou, Fran, that was appropriate today, as im a bit sad. my lovely Dads birthday today n even though hes been gone over 20years it still hits me. yes, the lady does have a nice soothing voice.
I should listen to it I know Fran but I'm not brave enough. I may start to think about my son and my husband. I lost both to the dreaded C in 2011 and If I start to cry I'll never stop. Their bravery was amazing so shame on me. Take care, Sheila xx
Oh Sheila how awful sweetheart, both husband and son, so painful. 💗
I cried and cried after that, I had bottled it in and there was that pain in my chest..it alleviated the guilt of thinking I didn’t do enough, I wasn’t there enough..well it was a journey..she made me imagine a place where I felt safe and peaceful, I closed my eyes and saw the colours, hear the sounds, and imagine the warmth of the people around. I didn’t feel so alone.
So now, when I say I meditate, I use that health imagery technique more and more and I travel in my head, I who can’t fly anymore 😉 because of LAM. I practice the cleansing breathing exercises and I found it liberating. Especially when I have invasive treatment or ops. Breathing deeply one hand on the chest and one on the tummy, you will feel energised and be to let go. It will help you to heal.
Thank you Fran for your kind reply. I have come to terms with losing my husband though I miss him dearly. But watching my son suffer for almost a year was unbearable. What do you say when your child looks into your eyes and says "there's nothing they can do Mum" As a mother I'm supposed to be able to make things better. Michael thanked me for not dissolving into tears all the time but I'm still screaming inside when I let myself think of all that happened.
I understand that holding on to grief isn't good but three months after Michael died my husband was told that nothing more could be done for him. So I couldn't give in to tears for the six months that I was nursing him.
I'm sorry to be so maudlin Fran. It has actually helped me to "talk" to you. Please don't think I'm a miserable person who wanders about in black ! Laughter is a great healer too. Take care and get better soon, Sheila xx
Losing a husband and child is undoubtedly one of the hardest thing one has to live through.
Thank you for sharing with me.
I am here for you and yes at least we can have our laughs!!! Well I did before that fractured vertebrae started to play me up 😃now I just smile sweetly 😊
