“Oh Mary,……..but in achieving all that, I sacrificed time with the man who will always be my inspiration. …..Oh Mary why do we have to have hindsight afterwards!!!!”

 Afterwards I was thinking about life in general and knowing that life would have been so much better if

 I had foresight to see what was going to happen!

I had the ability to see my hindsight at the time of the initial events!

With foresight I would have spent more time with Dad, with hindsight at the time (!) I would have appreciated his influence on my life and told him before it was too late.

If we can learn one thing it is that we can have foresight and hindsight now…..by treasuring those close to us and knowing that nothing is more important that valuing those around us and making time for those we love. The more we allow love in, the more we value love in our lives then I believe the more we will feel part of a loving world and be able to cope with our grief.

However, if you focus your attention on the ways what you plan to do would serve and create happiness in the world, you’ll likely begin to feel inspired again.”

Here are three recommendations for developing this kind of awareness.”

I was sat in the park when an old lady took the place by the side of me. She looked and asked what was wrong 

“How do you learn to breath again?”

She replied “One breath at a time”

“But how do your eye’s learn not to cry?”

She replied “One blink at a time” 

“How does your heart learn not to break?”

She replied “One beat at a time”

And how do you learn to laugh again?”

She replied “One smile at a time” 

I turned and said “It feels like a steep mountain to climb” 

She turned and said “Agh yes my dear, but you can climb mountains – if you take it one step at a time“

Yesterday, in the UK Staff nurse Colin Norris was sentenced for 4 murders and an attempted murder. The reports says

“During his campaign of murder he believed he could kill with impunity, claiming four “frail and helpless” victims within six months by injecting them with lethal doses of insulin.”

Wow, this story really affects me as when you are in hospital – as I was at Christmas and due to go in again soon – you are in the hands of experts and trust in the care that you receive. Now I know that this is an exception and not the rule but I cannot imagine how the families cope with the grief. Their family member was taken away from them early, and so needlessly.

My heart goes out to the families, no words can help but let’s hope that we can help build a better society that ensures all of us are cared for in our hour of need. Do you sometimes wonder what makes people want to kill, want to take someone’s life? I know   we will never really understand but we can understand the pain it causes..
