I think we need to dig deep into our hearts during our bereavement. We need to dig into the depth of our BIG heart – grief can make us shrivel from life, I know that I have felt that way! However, now I think it takes a big person with a big heart to cope with bereavement and use it to make the world a better place.

B = Be understanding that we were lucky to have loved, even if our loved one has been taken from us too early. Lets dig deep into our heart and forgive the loss and the pain. Because the pain has come because of the joy of having loved – many people never get the chance.

I = Instead of fearing love, now that we know the power of love, spend the rest of our lives bringing love to the life of others. We know that loneliness is an awful feeling, we can ensure that our family and friends never feel the pain of feeling alone, by being there for them.

G= Generous. We can either allow the grief to destroy us, or we can allow the grief to create positive change. By being generous to others, we are using our grief in a positive way. I know that my loved one would have wanted something good to come out of his death – I know give my time generously to other widows, terminal ill patients and charitable organisations.

I also know that this community has a BIG heart – you give me hope everyday…thank you x
