]]> cutebabyLosing someone you love makes you think about the need for love so deep inside all human beings. Last night I went over to stay with mum ahead of a meeting I was having near her…..and it struck me that as a child you spend much of the time wanting others to see you grown up, wanting to fall in love, wanting to be ‘treated like an adult’.

The irony is that as you become that adult, as you go through the joys and sorrows of life, you value that support and looking after of others. Last night I went home, mum cooked tea, even put a water bottle in bed for me, gave me a pack up of homemade food to take home…..it was wonderful. It is at these times when I think how wonderful it would be to have back the naivety and joy of the unbroken heart of a child.

So the question is do you spend your childhood wanting to be an adult and your adult life enjoying those special times when others care for you in that wonderful parental way?

I know one thing is true, in grief you value the love and caring of others so much more as you understand the precious nature of that love.

]]> When we grieve we look for the logic in death, why our loved one has been taken from us, why the world seems to take away the good guys….we look for the logic.

This weekend I was thinking about life in general….and asked myself is there anything about the emotional side of life that is logical?

What is logical about where we were born, who we were borne to?

What is logical about love and who we fall in love with?

What is logical about our fears, about our passions? artistatdoor.jpg

When you think about it, why should death be logical? Birth, love is not really logical…maybe the logic  lies in just one sentence… 

The only certainties in life are that we are born and that we die…everything else in between is just what happens….”
