I know many widows and widowers struggle on this day of the year. It is naturally a day when you miss those people in your family and friends who are no longer with us. When you think about that sense of loss, although it is painful it is also a wonderful thing….it means
We have been give the greatest present of all – that feeling of having loved and been loved.
On a day that signifies belief and birth, maybe we should have our own
Belief = Belief in the eternity of love. Love will conquer the pain, because love is stronger than pain. It lives through life and death……it just allows pain in every now and then to show us how much we have loved!
Birth = When a chapter of one part of your life ends, it is just a chapter. As one life fades, another begins and is capable of shining as brightly as before. We will not lose the experiences and love that has been with us in the first chapters as that has shaped who we are, we will only honor their memory if we find a way of sharing our love with the world.
So today I want to offer you two presents -
the belief that through widows quest you will find the strength to move from coping with the pain, to living and loving again
the knowledge that the true circle of life brings death followed by life, and through widows quest I have been given hope through the birth of many friendships….through pain, new friendships are born.
