How do you move forward?

Easy – one step at a time. Remember when you were a baby, or last watched a baby starting to walk? They stand, they fall, 
they stand, they stumble, they stand a little longer, they fall, they repeat until they can walk confidently on their own. For me grief is like that, you move forward you stumble, you get up, you drop down……and the process will always be easier if you allow people to hold your hand for support.
I think we can be too tough on ourselves, we expect to cope from Day 1 and when you think about it – how realistic is that? Falling occasionally whilst walking by yourself again may leave a few bruises but you learned to walk when you were young and you will learn to walk again….when you do, be ready to smile and congratulate yourself on your success.
