By the time we reach middle-age we have all been touched by tragedy and loss: whether loss of a relationship, a parent, one’s health…so many different losses. They are each uniquely appalling, yet the aftermath can be similar, in quality if not in degree: denial, anger, depression, sadness, loss of faith.
I felt a need to reflect on my own personal tragedies in the hope that I would begin to regain some of my Hope. There are no promises of “happy ever after” here. But if you are struggling with loss of some kind and don’t find the Seven Steps to a Perfect Solution type of book very useful, then this blog may be to your liking. I don’t promise answers, but every now and then I find interesting things to say, even useful things. Some of them come from other more enlightened people, to whom I will give full credit; some of them are my own. You are invited to explore this blog and journey with me. It will develop with bits and pieces of the book I am writing, or my reflections on those bits and pieces. And if my book gets published you will be the first to know, right here.
As always, I invite thoughtful feedback.
I admire your ability to put yourself out there! I suspect you have helped a lot of people by doing just that!
Thank you, I hope so.
