Month: February 2012

I have so many thoughts, which seem to be jumbled tonight. I feel indifferent, calm and very tired. We usually come to reflect on our relationships around the time we know someone we love is terminally ill. Relationships are about expression, we have to be able to express ourselves.

It would be easy for us to look back and pick fault, or feel guilty about something we’ve said, but it’s unhelpful and counterproductive. It’s perfectly acceptable to react to something that’s said that we’re not …

As children, we live in fear of the reality that one day our parents will no longer be around anymore. I was aware the bubble would burst. But then children don’t have the knowledge that adults have. Losing a parent seems scary when you’re a child.

My mother passed away what will be 5 years on the 25^th May 2012. I believe she will transition to spirit but will still be around me as I live my life and make my decisions. My father is now getting ready to do …

I had a problem watching my mother struggle with her health before she died, so will probably have a problem watching my father struggle too before he goes. Ever since I was a child I have struggled to …

I believe that we are born with a loving, caring and happy soul, but our experiences in life affects our soul. Those experiences will begin to reflect and make up our personalities.

It is through those experiences that bad patterns can be formed. The trouble is that we’re often too busy trying to work on our own survival that we don’t look beyond our opinions and attitudes, to what …
