It helps me to learn how to be there for the many female friends in my social circle who have recently been widowed - almost a dozen in the last six months! <br /><br />I'm so glad you found joy in watching the geese return!

I hope that the geese helped to make you forget this incident, Wendy.

You need to cry, to release your grief, to honour David and all he meant to you.<br /><br />People can be insensitive. We are not all the same. Forgive her Wendy and let her go.<br />Your heart is broken, perhaps she has never experienced the pain of losing someone so dear. One day she will understand.<br /><br />I do hope you feel better soon.......sending you healing thoughts and gentle hugs.<br />Know you are on my prayer list.....I pray for you, along with others, each night before I sleep.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-30200043017845626672011-04-02T02:07:33.293-04:002011-04-02T02:07:33.293-04:00be gentle with yourself.

There's little anyone can do about making a mistake.. not keeping record up to date.. etc but she sure could have been more compassionate about her response to you. I am glad that those geese helped to cheer you.

I'm sure you still get mail for David, I know I still get it for my dad and he's be gone for two and a half years.<br /><br />I heard geese this morning and I'm wondering what they will do as our lakes are still frozen solid and the ground is still frozen and snow covered.ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380296569508243613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-37541239889366970222011-04-01T12:02:46.508-04:002011-04-01T12:02:46.508-04:00Hi Wendy, the tears come because you need to relea...Hi Wendy, the tears come because you need to release. It is all a part of healing. Laughter is also a part of healing and can be used like an aspirin. Let out the tears then make your self laugh. I found that research showed even faking a laugh had the same healing quality's. When I was going through all the t& d last month. Laughter stopped the tears for me. And got me back on the road to healing. <br />I send you lots of healing energy. And lots of smiles hugs.<br />I feel your energy to. You always brighten my day. : )Grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278964537964027566noreply@blogger.com
