With life, we must accept death, & my family has endured two deaths in the past eight months. I lost my wonderful husband, Sean on New Year’s Eve. His father, Brendan died on 8th August.
The dynamics within the family alter with the loss of key characters. Both strong & vivacious people, they have left a huge abyss. I feel sympathy for the families suffering the same loss. Life can seem impossible & meaningless. But whatever your personal beliefs, you know that our lost ones would want us to be safe & happy. The grieving process is inevitable & important. it is a time of reflection.
I am lucky enough to work with flowers & foliage. Sean took care of our garden, & this weekend I have worked hard to make it look as good as he did. Painful as it is to be in that garden without him, I feel its healing properties. Along with my gorgeous cocker spaniel, Rolo, we had a good day, noting the signs of autumn in the brown leaves & seed heads. I will always keep the garden beautiful, in memory of my wonderful husband, Sean
