Breakaway to some quiet places for meditation is good for one's soul. Just to be alone to reflect on life is healing in itself.

Having a look at others'stories makes things a better for the mere fact that I can relate to some of their emotions and experiences. It s always great to share life experiences to help one another push through the roughest patch.
I would like to thank you for writing because there is healing in sharing.We loved your wife so dearly but as a family we went through hell. We had to forgive a lot of people who were so hard and did not share our feelings.We just saw her getting far away from us in the process to get closer to her God. I want to share a little of tradition in africa. It is tradition that a body of the passed is well taken care of and washed before buried. And in fact this is a great help for the mourning process! I visited her in the mortuary and there she looked like somebody who was just sleeping. She was dressed in a white jersey,white socks and her hands folded across her breast. I bid her goodbye in silence. At a later stage I will share other feelings because I see this blog as a place where family members can share their feelings to heal somebody else. Eva Schimming.
