@eth @eudemonism Hey eth and eudemonism for me memories are like waves on a shore I remember things and then it fades away like the out going tide. Or like mist it is there then it again fades away into nothing. My pdoc says it is important for me to move on but as I have said in a previous post this is very hard to do as it has a hold on my heart. I can feel the grasp firm and strong sometimes it would be easier to just go with it and go to the dark ... but then I would be letting myself down and my children down so i cant.. It is a continual fight that must be won by the light. I have to move on which I will and am doing. .

Hi @Bunniekins I like the idea of waves on a shore. Another one I use at times is leaves floating on a river flowing past me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I hear you about being there for your children. That's what kept me going for many years. Even now, they are 30, it still comes down to that at times. I went into that darkness once, survived, spent months in and out of hospital afterwards. They were 10. I will never put them through that again.

Sounds so generous @Shaz51 . Our local womens centre does something similar where people donate a useful bag (often a handbag or basket) containing female essentials, skin care etc and often something extra that's nice like a mug or a diary. They're all on a table near reception and you can help yourself. Have a good day today.
You too @Meowmy
