Friends til the end Community Group
A group for those of us here who get more from our friendships than from the available discussion groups.A place to be accepted and appreciated for who we are.Somewhere to always feel safe and know that especially on the bad days we are here for each other.A place for encouragement and love.
From Lindas journal: Today......
(let us all pray for her & hers)
Tragedy,
When the fires come,
And you canâ??t go on,
Itâ??s tragedy,
When the morning dawns,
And thereâ??s nothing left,
Itâ??s hard to bear,
With no-one around you,
Youâ??re goinâ?? nowhere,
Tragedy,
When you lose control,
And you feel no cool,
Itâ??s tragedy,
When your house burns down,
And your loved oneâ??s lost,
Itâ??s hard to bear,
With no-one beside you,
Youâ??re goinâ?? nowhere.
Saturday was the worst day here,
it reached 47.9 Celsius, { 118.2 Fahrenheit,}
and did not bring us cheer,
we are all safe,
but my heart breaks in two,
for all those lives lost,
and the pets and livestock too,
my friends at work,
have lost family and friends,
and they have husbands and brother-in laws,
fighting the blaze,
the sky is just one black misty haze,
131 lives lost,
Over 700 houses burned to the ground,
We really need the weather to turn around,
And bring some relief from this radiant heat,
The fire and wind just canâ??t be beat,
Thereâ??s 31 fires burning out of control
a third of our state,
Already burnt Iâ??m told,
Please could you send your good wishes,
Love, prayers,
And whatever you know how,
Because the people of Victoria,
Really need you now.
With all of my love,
Linda Butterfly.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
