Hello everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the future of this site. I found it so incredibly helpful in the early days (years!) of my grief journey. It gave me the space I needed to deal with my overwhelming thoughts. It lead me to the compilation of the information for my book, A Broken Heart Still Beats – a grieving mother’s journey toward peace. But now, I am thinking of moving on to the next thing. I will soon publish a book of the poetry that I was compelled to write throughout my journey so far, some of which is here in this blog website. I am interested in other formats, where I can show you all who I am and what I do to cope with grief. I am finding that the technical aspect of maintaining a website has become more than I am willing to deal with, as retirement has opened up both time and opportunity to explore a number of other interests that I have. I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for joining me in this space, and I hope that what I’ve had to say has resonated with you. This journey is so, so difficult. It continues to change as it drags us down this reluctant path. Who knows where it may lead? For those of you who are bereaved parents, my heart knows your heart, and I hope that you continue to find those moments of joy in the reluctant gift that is grief. I feel that it has brought us all a little closer to the true, universal meaning of Love. For those of you that have not lost a child but are here to support me in my grief journey, please accept my heartfelt thanks and know how much you are appreciated. If you’ve read this, please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thank you all,
Nancy Carswell
