Comment on This Is Not The End by Lee

Not sure what the specific problem is, but here is what I did. 1) Pushed back harder 2) Had breakdown 3) Learned to breath again. After that life still kept happenning so now I stop holding it in, get angry, stop pushing, fall into the hopelessness and cut loose. Mostly makes no difference to end result, but sometimes it does and at least it’s a place for me – as you put it. Courage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I’ve experienced some situations where courage is an indicator that I’m doing something I shouldn’t be doing. Modern life has distorted it from the glorious courage of Churchill’s days. Or maybe it hasn’t, afterall, in 1915 Churchill was responsible for walking courageous men into 303 rounds point blank not far from where you grew up. He isn’t the source of all wisdom. If all else fails, I take a pill. Nothing illegal, just something to take the edge off. Whatever you do will be right for you. Best of luck.

Comment on The Fearful Acute Suspense by tony espino

Sorry for your loss. I hope things get better for you with each day. Before my father passed away the dr told him he was on the list for a liver transplant (which he wasn’t), but it lifted his spirits when he only had months to live. I guess sometimes when medicine can’t do anything else they figure it can’t hurt to reach for some sort of miracle with the power of the mind. Who knows. Either way death is really hard to deal with regardless of how prepared you think you are to accept it. I suppose it’s best to just try to live in the moment and experience life in it’s totality as best as possible. Short of trying to raise the dead I haven’t come up with a better solution yet.

What the writer wrote is like from my heart, and to think like the quote calms me and help me get with my life.

That really is a lovely quote, and I believe it too. It brings a sense of peace.

ChK,
Thanks. Love ya honesty. With that sort of honesty you should be able to write a sensational manuscript. I am lucky I guess. Writing comes easy because I just let it rip, and climb inside my character’s heads. This is the toughest gig in town, so you have to do it for personal reasons. Money, fame and glory is icing on the cake. As I wrote for Kids Magazines many years ago, ‘Find something you’re passionate about and write passionately about it.’

I am so happy to read those words, “All I want is simply to write.” A writer can not stop writing any more than they can stop breathing and writing is cathartic. I hope it can help you though this rough patch and bring you out on the other side, stronger, wiser and happier. You know, a former neighbour turned to writing when she lost her husband. Her first book, Beginnings: A Book for Widows (by Betty Jane Wylie, 1977), launched her writing career and helped many women by detailing her experience and showing them they are not alone. Drawing on your own experiences as a recent widow, expressing your feelings and the depth of your grief might be as cathartic for you. You have a wonderful writing style that I’m sure will win the hearts of a reputable publisher and might make you a little money, too. Just a thought. If it worked for her, it might work for you, too. Good luck.

Comment on I Only Want To Stand Aside by mywithershins

Looking back is all well and good. It helps us to put the past in perspective with our current lives. I choose to remember the good times, as much as I can, rather than dwell on the unhappy times. Granted, you have had such horrible things happen to you that it must be crushing to remember it all. You have mentioned happy memories of the past, too – great moments in your life that were replaced by war-time memories. I can understand how you would be afraid of experiencing happiness again when, in your past, the good was always followed by harsh reality. I hope you will come to realize that you can rise above the sadness and find joy in the world, again. Take care of yourself.

Comment on You Left Us Too Soon by mywithershins

I am sure there are people in your life who care about you and would miss you when you’re gone. Perhaps, not in the same capacity as your husband, but I think your children would listen to you when you feel the need to share your grief, your thoughts about your future. As well, the feelings you’ve shared, here, with your followers are powerful enough to evoke great empathy. Know that you are not alone, that there are those who are interested in what you have to say, although they may not be able to be with you in the physical sense. I know virtual hugs are not the same as experiencing caring arms wrapped around you, but the sentiment is the same.

Comment on Since Then We Never Stopped by mywithershins

You have made some powerful points, here. One must never forget those who have fought for our freedoms for if we forget, their lives would seem forfeit. They need our respect and they need us to continue to strive for understanding, compassion and peace among all people.
