If you have ten mins spare today I would recommend sitting and reading the latest article by Jody Day. I have included a little part of the article that i thought rocked;
Thanks Fuzzy Winker for posting this and link. I haven't read Jody's book or looked at the gateway website before but will now look further.
I liked the plan B section, as someone who's approaching 50 I feel I ought to be moving on properly but not knowing what plan B could be. Thinking on the lines of adding good things to my life, one at a time seems more manageable.
After losing dad to dementia last year and mum now with it as well i have a lot on my plate.
This is what we have to deal with nowadays, it's a age thing, like menopause!
thanks for your reply. It's good to remind ourselves that we are grieving and to be kind to ourselves. It's sounds like you have also had alot of additional grief to handle. And dementia is a more unique grief, as you loose your parent before they die.
Jody Days post reminded me of the importance to have that support network of people who are in the same boat with you. Who understand and know the right words to say. And can inspire you to live a different but filled life again..by adding good things in to balance out the hard.
