first time I went when we left I wept...then as my daughter and I built in two day and five day visits I felt I had found a special place.I have many stories of good work going on..the groups of folks I met.As I said having pyhsio and accupuncture for a whole year allowed me to keep mobile.One good thing that happened was being able to invite friends for a meal and share what we were experiencing.
My dear friend works there..a very special lady who has touched many lives.She set up a womens health day for menopause and had a homopathic doctor lecture us.The large room was filled.I have days there and sit in the spa cosy while the cold Scottish day is outside.
I truly believe the whole building is a blanket of goodness.
I have a favourite room and when things get tough I picture the room.Its above the tree tops and wild geese are flying level to the window.

Welcome back Arlene...thank you dear for your kind words...we missed you.

Hi Mountain...you're right...we are chasing each other around the forums.

It's always nice when we find a place of solace. Your place of solace is heavenly...and when you told me about your favorite room being high above the tree tops and you watch wild geese fly by...well, it gave me goose bumps (no pun intended)...I can only imagine how beautiful that must have been. Sometimes we find outself in a moment that is shared with nature that is so special words find it hard to describe. That castle sounds amazing.

Mountain Ash, I missed your posts about your "place" until now. What a "sacred place".(taken from a song by Damian Rice). What caught me was your remark about what groups of people an do..change almost the very walls in a building or place..perhaps even move mountains? I really felt what you wrote there because, I think, that some times we forget what we can do as a group together..different groups in different situations and "zones". I read in a foreword in one of Doris Lessing´s autobiographies that our brains acamodate (spelling?) to the person we are talking to..the brain waves become similar..our hearts beat in rythm..and maybe we all have a rythm, she goes on to ask..nations,cities and individuals..very very interesting, I think. And perhaps we can heal eachother by our reaching out and being together a time??

What happened here on this thread a while back has certainly given me a warm glowing spot in my heart. I need that now as my tough months are here, as I wrote before. The other day, I woke up crying..and at first I didn´t know why and was almost angry with myself for being "so old". But then I remembered this thread and what we shared here..I realized that I was missing my Susan very very much. But that was OK..because of what we talked about here..and the fact that I could identify my sorrow..this was very new to me at this stage in my life..so many years after her death..but OH what a help it was.

And Mountain Ash, we were mostly 3 or 4 women that wrote that evening..from all over the world..and, for me, here in Sweden..you all have helped me move mountains within myself..and to SEE them and not criticize myself for them.

Thank you! all of you..

Humlan,
I just now saw your post. I'm so sorry your heart is heavy and you're feeling sad. I am sending a fresh supply of hug angels your way, dear heart, to help you. I cannot imagine how it feels to be in your shoes...I can only tell you that I am hugging you from far, far away and that my prayers are pouring out for your comfort.

humlan, phew, your grief for Susan is so understandable. I wish I could take it away.

As you know, we are mulling through grief with friends who also lost a child. It's one thing I certainly will never understand. It's so out of the natural rhythm of our lives for this to happen.

Please know that I'm adding you in with prayers for our friends. I didn't know this still caused you tears (though I certainly understand) so I'm lumping you all together in prayer from now on.

Is today a better day?

Dotsie..that´s the thing..death..even of a child..is not really outside our natural lives..it´s we westerners that put death, sickness and almost anything that is considered as "ugly" into a "box" (pete seeger´s little boxes) and then transport it outside our perimeters..so that we don´t and can´t SEE.. look at Sudan..only Sudan..one country of many..children are dying there daily..as are there parents..and they die among them all because it is a very real part of their lives. And here in the West..people are dying every day..every day..both young and old..they get sick and they get disfigured and lamed physically or psychologically daily..without death, there would be no life..how would you define life, then? If there was no death?

Thank you, Dotsie, for your daily prayers..I need them. And I am sure that you have a special path to God..I can see it in your smile..thank you!

The past couple of days, I have been feeling better again. Perhaps because I am thinking of the living..my grandchildren and their mother,my daughter..and how I can help them. I am certain that my Susan has brought me to this thought and planning because there have been many spiritual happenings in my life the past few weeks.
