I had better keep away from The Book Depository or this floor will need some reinforcement.<br /><br />I was sorry to read of the loss of your Grandpa and can understand your "what is the point" feelings but these pass and, as you look back, you will smile at the happy memories you built. Living your life to the full, in the very best way you can, will be a tribute to his influence on your life. Your love for him will stay in your heart.<br /><br />Carol xxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811673280675153792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-31656511102412570832012-11-23T17:49:29.962+11:002012-11-23T17:49:29.962+11:00duck risotto is SO worth the effort!!

I kept waiting for some epiphany to lift my sadness, but it was really time that did its work.

And I too empathise with your "nihilistic" thoughts - sometimes when I dwell too much on the things that are going wrong, life can seem to be quite an absurd conceit. But it's love isn't it that brings us here and sustains us and gives us purpose. Thank goodness for love - and all the marvellous ways we have of expressing it - growing our food for our family, sharing people's lives and experiences, stitching beautiful things to bring comfort and delight. Wishing you lots of love and enjoy those books - that's my idea of excitemen :-)Lily Boothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385219883166874326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-76990933434406492302012-11-22T05:44:37.689+11:002012-11-22T05:44:37.689+11:00I am so sorry for your loss hun sending big hugs t...I am so sorry for your loss hun sending big hugs to you.

Sorry to hear that you're having s...Hi Julie, <br /><br />Sorry to hear that you're having such a period of loss at the moment. We suffered several bereavements within a short space of time, and I think it really can take it's toll emotionally. It's important to remember that no one can be jolly all the time, so part of being in the moment can also include allowing oneself the space to grieve or to experience whatever emotions one feels at any time, without judging it or wishing it were not so. I don't know if that makes as much sense on the page as it does in my head....? <br /><br />You bring a lot of joy to others, here on your blog, and I'm certain in the real world too - I'm glad that you had some inspiring birthday presents - the book looks lovely. <br />xxxxSarah ~ Crafts from the Cwtchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185079470901101913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-57079698542197506152012-11-22T02:29:47.144+11:002012-11-22T02:29:47.144+11:00i'm so sorry for your losses. it can be so ove...i'm so sorry for your losses. it can be so overwhelming at times. i completely get where you were coming from, those feelings can creep in so easy sometimes.
