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

“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.

“Widows Quest is a band aid for your heart, your friend to see you through the dark days and your inspiration to learn to live and love again.”

Whether through my stories and my learnings I can do that, I don’t know but as someone who has felt the pain of a broken heart, and learned to live again…..I want to help others the way my friends saw me through my grief and mourning.
