Yesterday was a day of mixed feelings. While it was a year since we lost our lovely Ron it was also a year since our vow renewal and 8 years since mum’s funeral. What’s important though is moving forward and using all those experiences in a positive way.
We renewed our vows at 25 years when life was difficult and Ron was hanging on being cared for here, with us. How lucky were we to be able to do that!! My experiences with trauma, terminal cancer, dementia and Alzheimer’s have given me the understanding and empathy to deal with whatever life has thrown at me and I’m proud to put that to good use. I now only surround myself with those who can do the same. Life can be short, it can be cruel, but never giving up and working hard to work through problems and take care of those that mean something to you is so important.
In these hard times it costs nothing to be kind, to offer help, support and understanding or a safe place for someone to rest and take a breath.
Lets keep life real, communicate in person and not online, be who you are and don’t pretend to be something you’re not because you think you need to, and always offer a shoulder, an ear or a hug to someone who looks like they need it…… they can refuse or it could be something they desperately need. Take the risk and ask ❤️❤️❤️❤️
