Last year my mum died; 2 good friends died. The year before, my long-term relationship ended. It's been a tough couple of years. I've tried to keep on; get through it all, and hope that things will get better.
Keep faith, and hope, and love.
And today; an e.mail from another good friend; she's got breast cancer. Massively intensive/invasive treatments ahead. She's a fantastic woman. Loving; caring; compassionate; committed to making a difference in the world. My heart breaks for her; for her family, and her friends. What a bloody, horrible day. I am so tired of all these deaths.
All my friends who've had/are having serious, life-threatening illnesses. Oh when, WHEN will there be good news?
Stitch it out...As we get older the losses seem to be much more frequent. Love and hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteAhhh thanks Heather. Seems everyone's going down like dominoes at the moment. Just want a bit of a break from the relentlessness of it all......but am stitching.....X
ReplyDeletethis is sad news, as Heather says the losses in our own lives seem more frequent the older we become.....an inevitable fact of life, from which we would all like to get away from time to time....finding and doing something we love and enjoy helps us cope, sharing also helps, am thinking of you, Saskia
ReplyDeleteThank you Saskia. Much appreciated. It's been a tough couple of years. x
