They most certainly are all so important and each and everyone in someway makes a difference

Life ......can be such a beautiful experience that can often be taken for granted. I want to continue growing and being a better person.
This past week forced many in my family to forgive and come together to celebrate and mourn the life of an amazing woman.
Why is it that death brings people together when most of the time everyone is so busy that one hardly ever sees them? This needs to change because it's important to show one another how much one is appreciated.
I always say "If you were not there for me in life don't come around when I'm gone".....
Have a blessed evening all.

So true Roxie, We all need to reflect on the life and what it has to offer us. We can all grow through different experiences and challenges that we are faced with. Sometimes somethings are harder than others as in the event of losing someone who we love. ThIs sad time in our lives can make us all realize that maybe it is time to forgive and move on with things and not to dwell on them. We need to make time for each other, it's sad in a way to think that the only time we do see some of family and friends is the passing of a very dear relative. Some stay, some go I know when my Dad died he had a full Naval Funeral. I was so devastated but felt comfort that everyone of his mates on the Corvette from the war were there to honour him, but then I felt sad as to why they hadn.t been there all along for him and that I had never met some of them. We all so need to be there for each other each and everyday. The world would sure be a bettter place . I think anyway. As the old saying goes we need to fly with the good times and try not to dwell too much on the dissapointing ones and the things we can't change. God Bless Piglit

I try not to dwell and if I find myself doing so I try to find something to do to distract myself but I'm sure we all know that from time to time traumatizing memories creep up on us and make us feel worthless all over again.
This is one reason that weekly talk therapy is so important in the recovery process.

A really good positive approach. It's not good to dwell on things. I find talking a wpnderful way to expresss the way we feel.It's good to talk it's not good to keep it bottled up inside Piglit
