Sorrow Is Not Forever Love Is
Hope you enjoy the following article
"Sorrow is not forever ~ Love Is" which I have found is very
true...Although the heartache of losing our children will be with us always,
the pain does soften so that going forward, as thy would want us to do, gets
easier with time... But by the same token, I think our love for them and those
around us grows as we get stronger.. it changes us forever .. and proves the
theory that true love never dies...Cherie Houston

So often, one attempts
to face the whole future at once. But we will not live that period
all at once, only day by day. Don’t try to face twenty
years. Face today.
When that has been
achieved, face tomorrow. You will find more and more ways in which
you can cope. The Chinese have a saying that a journey of a thousand
miles starts with a single step. There is no way you can take the
fifteenth, or the two hundred-seventh step, before you have taken the first.
It can be difficult to
face going out again and resuming your regular activities. IT can
take more courage to face the little things than the big things in
life. Going out shopping for groceries for the first time can become
an ordeal. Making the change more complete could
help. Try a different store, a different day or time, and go with a
friend. When it seems very hard to decide what to do first, maybe
it’s not very important where you start, as long as you
start. Choose a simple task and get started.
Once you've begun, it
will be far easier to set your priorities, and you will have gained in
confidence for already having achieved something.
