Last night I attended our local church for the "All Souls Service" ,this is held every year to remember family,loved ones and friends ... the faithful departed.The service took a path which interested me , it went as this .....The minister recited this tale of a mother whose child was ill and dyeing,she was asking everyone in her village what medicine could save her precious child and her answer was always ...none !! until she asked one person who said " that is simple ,ground mustard seed ... but you must get the seed from a house which has not been touched by the sad passing of a loved one ".So the mother set off and soon found that everyone she asked had lost a partner , spouse ,parent , child or loved one ...... there was too be no medicine and the child died.In her sadness though she knew that there were others who too had lost and she found comfort from those.But there was a vital lesson to be learnt and it was this .... that you are not alone in the pain and this got me thinking about all situations in life "you are not alone " !!!
And this is what I am trying to achieve by writing this blog that no matter how hard or hopeless the situation seems you do not have to cope alone , someone will have faced this challenge before and there will always be someone to ask for advice, and as my blog progresses this is what I hope to achieve.
