It has been a long time since I wrote a blog here. The last 16 months have been filled with turmoil. I often think it is just as well we don’t know what is ahead of us, or we would never get out of bed at all. I have lost three beloved cat family members in 12 months, the most recent 12 days ago. I was fortunate to have great love, and it follows that the absence of the loved one incurs great loss. Losses are cumulative, and I know from experience that grief will wait until you can handle it to unleash its full power. I am grateful that it comes in waves, and allows respite between the storms. I am now in a period of reconstruction of myself, trying to heal and move on. I have a birdfeeder outside my back door and I find it soothing to watch the antics of the blue tits, sparrows and robins all vying for a step up the pecking order ladder. Walking by water and in the woods helps too. Accepting the situation and forgiving myself for any perceived shortcomings eases the burden a little. When we are in this situation, it helps to be as kind to ourselves as possible. If you too, have lost someone special, my heart goes out to you. Take care and God bless.
