A Story To Warm Your Heart

As widows or widowers we often wonder how we can carry on…and when I find articles that show how people have successfully got their life back on track I love to share as a way of showing that as long as we believe, then we will get through this grief cycle.
I was reading on the This is Swansea website about “a nursing student was devastated by the loss of her husband in a road crash.Showing remarkable courage and fortitude, she overcame her grief and completed her degree course.”
29 year old Joanne Thomas story is described by her personal tutor “Joanne had only been married for two years but this tragedy made her more determined to complete her studies, in memory of her husband.
“She proved this by showing great determination and tremendous courage to stay and successfully complete her studies with her original cohort.”
The completion of this nursing course will not bring back her husband but it will help her rebuild her confidence and show her that whatever life throws at her….she can cope. Just like you!
