February Podcast
I am sorry. The February Podcast has been completed for some time now but I have not been able to upload it to the server. I will keep trying. Please be patient. Thank you. A few thoughts for you in the mean time.
I Believe..
That our background & circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
That no matter how good a friend is they are going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them.
That true friendship continues to grow even over long distance. The same for true love.
That it is taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
That you can keep going long after you can’t.
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
That sometimes when I’m angry I have a right to be angry but that doesn’t mean I have a right to be cruel.
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people you don’ t even know.
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
That if two people argue it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other and if they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.
That the people you care about in life are taken from you too soon.

I am new to blogging, but I began searching for one to read about other people's experiences when they lose a parent or I thought about starting one myself so I can express my feelings. I just lost my mom unexpectedly and she was relatively young (65 years old). She suffered from a sudden cardiac arrest and after researching it, appears it can affect any age, young or old. To suffer this loss of someone so close, is to feel a deep pain that only people who have suffered loss of a close family member could really understand. In addition, the day after my mom passed, our treasured 11-year-old golden retriever also passed. He was sick a couple of days before my mom passed and we actually were anticipating his death, not my mother's. Grieving is a process that we must go through and I understand I am just beginning. It is a life-altering experience. Without going on too much, I found your blog very inspirational and comforting.
Thanks, Stephanie
Stephanie,
First of all let me express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. I know how you feel, although my mom's death was not unexpected my 18 yr old nephew's came as a complete shock to us. Losing a mom or anyone that is close to you leaves a hole in your heart and I wish I could say that that hole heals completely but I think you just get used to it being there. In May it will be 3 years since my mom died and I miss and think of her everyday. Your mom will stay alive in the wonderful memories you have of her. I know that I find comfort in staying in touch with my mother's close friends. We reminisce about her and sometimes I learn things from them that I didnt know. Grieving is a long process but the good news is that you are not alone. So many people feel exactly the same way you do right now and sharing with them may help you. When I started this blog and podcast I thought if I could help even one person its all worth it, so reading that you said you found it comforting means a lot to me, thank you. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I would also like to tell you how sorry I am that you lost your golden retriever. I know how much a dog becomes a family member and the pain it causes when you lose a faithful friend. Dogs are so great because they love you the same everyday no matter how you look or feel that day. Thank you for sharing your story with me and know that you can count on me if you ever need a friend to listen. Hope is what this blog is all about. You are right what has happened to you is a life- altering experience just know that you will make it through this. I am very happy you shared your story and hopefully others will read it and take comfort in knowing that someone else understands exactly how they feel.
Sincerely,
Mar
