I know that if I am being truthful that I don’t really value me, I value others ALOT, actually too much as I always feel everyone is better than me in whatever way. I think that is what I miss most…that person who loves you unconditionally and sees the good in you and helps YOU see the good in YOU.

So a question for you today…Do you value who you are right now?

Do you value your strength? Do you value your greater understanding of love, of pain, of happiness? Do you value what you, yourself can give to the world? Do you value the person that your partner fell in love with?

If you were building a house you wouldn’t just sit and look at a piece of ground and hope that a house appeared! So if we want to build a new life we need to think like an architect of our own life. Grief means that we need to rebuild our life.

Design – What kind of life do you want? Design the life that you want to build so that you can have a picture which you can build towards.

Foundations – All life’s – and houses – are built on solid foundations. Grief causes your life to be turned upside down and can shake you to your core. To build for the future you need to come to terms with who you are, what you stand for and what is important in your life. Death may make you feel that your life has ended…but it is only a chapter. The core of your happiness might not be there but in the end what creates happiness is being happy with you.

Building – Once you have the foundation of being happy with you, then you can start laying the bricks to your new life. Brick by brick, step by step….do something that is towards that dream life.

Decorating – Once the structure of your life is solid I like to think of decorating it. This can be finding new companions or new love. You wouldn’t or couldn’t decorate a house until the structure was strong. It is the same during the bereavement process. If you are happy living with just you, in a life that you want then you will find that visitors to your life will start to decorate your world.

Building a house is hard, building a new life after bereavement is hard. There will be set backs, there will be repairs needed! But if you keep building then eventually that new life will form

• The feeling of belonging. That I am with people who just…well understand.
• Happiness. People are so good at sharing stories and often such funny memories which make me laugh.

I sit, I stare, I try and focus

Yet nothing seems to matter anymore

I look for inspiration in the photos around me

Yet nothing seems to matter anymore.

I dig deep inside and look for your love

Because nothing else matter but that love we shared

Yet there is nothing there, nothing to hold on to

Will it be better tomorrow, next week, next month?

Because I need something, anything to hold on to

I hear your voice telling me to fight, telling me to move on

That nothing matters more than my happiness

Yet to me my happiness was you, my world was you

And in that thought I stay because

Nothing seems to matter anymore

And then in an instance I know

That our love lives on and that it is our love

That really matters, our love that will see me through
