Hi Shirlann, it is important to be true to yourself and focus on what will make you happy and at peace with yourself. This could be spending time on your own in an allotment, listening to the music you like and watching the films you want to see. It is about changing the way you have been in the past to how you are going to be in the future. Reinvent yourself to be who you want to be. It may be hard initially with your family but hang on in there and you will eventually get the response and respect you deserve. I wish you well.

Stop procrastinating…. and dabble more!!! Otherwise your talent is wasted.

Hello Karen and to all those lovely people supporting you at this time of loss and grief and who have too lost someone very close to them. The feeling of loss is overwhelming and I am sure you are experiencing all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions from shock, anger and disbelief. Grief is unique to each and every one of us and no one knows exactly how you are feeling we can only imagine through our own experiences. It is time to really look after yourself with your health and wellbeing and talk to someone about your husband. As a loss and grief counsellor myself I know how important it is to talk. Julie x
