On being strong…

I’ve neglected my website for a few months. This explains why.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been told that I am strong since April. Am I? I’m not sure.

My husband died you see. Suddenly. I don’t think there is anything that can prepare you for that. There’s no positivity training, no amount of ‘mindfulness’ that will smooth this particular path.

It comes down to putting your head down and keeping on, keeping on going, keeping on living. Keeping on remembering, loving and grieving.

But I am counting my minor victories and raging (occassionally) at the hurdles that spring up. Day by day I will get braver, less fragile. I am slowly taking back control.

So I am back to work, back to building this business, and I take pride in that as he would have been proud too.

Strong? Maybe. Determind? Certainly.

    You are strong Katherine, you know you are. The problem is we don’t always want to be, but we have no choice – life goes on, you either sink or you swim, and you, my dear, are a swimmer! You will get through this, slowly as you say – there are no shortcuts – and your children and friends will be proud of you as well as your beloved husband.
    Good luck with the business. X

    Hi Katherine, I have just discovered your website (I am creating my VA activity, too) and I wanted to send my best thoughts. I have no idea what you are going through but I did lose people I loved so I wanted you to know that people think about you.
    Plein de courage et plein succès pour la suite,
    Claire.
