• Joined a local village group that meets each Thursday for coffee.
• Started to play bowls.
• Been on a couple of cruises – Dad didn’t really like the idea of cruises so this is a real treat for her.
• Learned to do things around the house, including driving the ride on lawn mower!

She still has tears in her eyes when we talk about Dad, but she has learned to enjoy a very different life. I asked her how   she has found the strength.  She shared 2 reasons which I think may help others.

1. She saw the effect of losing Dad on my sister and I. She wants to live as long as possible to help us through and also to watch over us.
2. Dad loved her very much and would have wanted, indeed trusted that she would live on….she feels that he is willing her each day.

“It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know.”

“We are happy together & strong relationships have to grow deep roots. We’re growing them now, partly because we are separated, the foliage and the flowers will come somehow I’m sure of it….Love is a queer thing, it hurts but it gives you so much in return.”

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”

“With the new day comes strength and new thoughts”

“People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built!

Joan shares this tip with us all

“My husband died last year and the grief has been overwhelming. One tip I would give people, is to keep one or two items visibly on show, but don’t make the house a shrine. I did and all that brought was depression. I now have 3 photo’s and everything else is stored away – there if I want to look. This has helped me start to come to terms with his death. Before   when it was a shrine, I just fell further and further into a depression. The shrine reminded me of the death. Now the photo’s and the memories remind me of his life”

Joan thanks so much and if others people want to share ideas just let me know

“Remember that time when you had a headache or your foot hurt? It hurt and hurt mainly due to your concentration on the pain. But, when your focus and attention shifted to something else, the more you had your attention away from your pain, the less pain you felt!”

At first I thought….uhm hitting your foot is hardly the same as losing your loved one…and then as I started to think more about it, it is true. Look through my blog posting, it is about filling that void in your life with other things to look forward to, in this context an opportunity to move the focus of your pain onto something that creates enjoyment. As hard as it seems, the post is right. We can concentrate too hard on the pain that we are feeling and not enough on something that can create a diversion, a moment of relief. Maybe we don’t like to think of it like that, but in reality we all need to find a focus…..
