When someone dies your partner in life has gone, the dividing of chores disappears – suddenly you have to face it all, on your own.

However, I have been stunned at how I have coped, of how my mother has coped, of how those widows and widowers around me have coped. Human beings are incredibly resilient – you can and will cope.

I suppose my lesson is because inside all of us is that ability to cope, trust to rely on yourself, trust in your values, in your abilities, in your future. For when we do, we will be amazed at how we stand up to be counted and learn to deal with all the problems we face…

This post was inspired by speaking to Roz Savage who has rowed the Atlantic and now is trying to become the first woman to row the Pacific Ocean would you believe – when faced with challenges she faced the fear and used it as motivation to spend the rest of her life following her passion. You can hear the interview here in two parts

Sean Reynolds presents Face The Fear posted at Creativity, saying, “What causes a human being to self destruct? It has got to be down to our mindset or how we look at things. Something the individual cannot cope with due to their particular view of the world. We are attempting to look at our worst fears here. The impacts of our worst fears have got to be more imagined than real as they are different for each individual. These deeply held beliefs can limit us by holding us back, cause us to behave in certain ways or cause us to crash and burn.”
