Wow, where has the time gone?

Its a long time since I've blogged, to be honest, I've had a series of losses and dramas that has 'taken its toll'. I look in the mirror and see 'pain and suffering' but also 'maturity'. Each trauma has taught me more, one of the things I have learnt is how painful it is to lose those we love and those that have impacted us or brought us joy, it still hurts to remember them and their absence but it is a 'poignant loss' when stirred by a memory that they plant in your head rather than a 'devastating loss'. It becomes a memory that makes you smile but brings with it a tinge of sadness rather than a 'hole in your heart' where they once were.

That said, you have to keep reminding yourself that you are here for a reason, they have left you because for whatever reason their 'journey on this planet, in this life' has come to an end but yours hasn't. Yours is to keep getting up and going on, however painful. Some people can't, you always hear stories of old couples dying within a short period of time of each other because that loss does not get easier and that's totally understandable.

So if you know someone who is going through grief or loss of a person or an animal be kind to them, give them a hug, if they will let you, it may just be that hug that makes all the difference to them, that 'keeps them going'.

Love, light and healing to all in need, that want. Love Mandy xxx
