UNEXPECTED STRENGTH

back in july.. i blogged about 'bravery'..

..some days it is really hard to focus on

being strong when events occur in life that are profoundly distressing..

there are times when we need to treat ourself kindly

..and be ok with the emotions we are experiencing..

refuse to criticise the way you are 'handling' the situation..

at such terrible times it is ok to feel angry.. to grieve..

it is ok to take your time to go through all the emotions you feel you need to..

..i often find comfort in the fact that amongst the most difficult..
heart wrenching times in my life..

..i have survived the worst losses..

..i have changed from them..but i will not let them define who i am..

..and one of the most helpful things i found..

was surrounding myself with the people who love me..
..and you wil find unexpected strength in the most unexpected places..

..to my beautiful friend who is going through a most terrible time..

people say there is a reason..they say that time will heal..

..but niether time nor reason can change the way you feel..

..no one knows the heart ache..that hides behind your smiles..

..no one knows how many times you have broken down and cried.

i want to tell you something....it may be hard to hear..

..life is full of challenges..some too hard to bear..

..but you are very brave....you are so very strong..

..this pain will pass i promise..and I pray it won't take long x

..one day at a time my friend..surround yourself with luv and support..

luv u xx
