Up until now I have only been brave enough to read people's blogs, but not necessarily comment - after all, what can I offer. Today I realised that blogging can be good for many of us, it can be a way of sometimes sharing our innermost thoughts, and getting those thoughts down on paper, well print, helps us deal with them.
A fellow blogger's brother committed suicide. Such a tragic sudden and terrible experience & my heart goes out to her. I was compelled to send out my support to her simply because my own brother attempted suicide and I know how devastating & shocking that can be to a family. My brother has since tried again on a couple more occasions and my family is trying to deal with this confronting issue as best they can. We support each other, but sometimes have to tiptoe around the sensitivity of how we each cope in very different ways.
Every day is a struggle for him, but every day he struggles is good - he's here isn't he? Is that selfish, or is that a good thing (that I am happy he struggles through another day?). How I wish he understood how many around him care for him, but somehow we cannot get through to him. He retreats to his world of self destruction and I can only hope that one day, he will pull through this. I wonder if this is a possibility....
So for now, I offer to anyone who reads, please take the time to share your emotions. Look to others around you who truly care for your wellbeing and take comfort from their support. Life will give you a fair share of ups and downs, so take the time to care for yourself, and for others in whatever way you can. Getting those emotions out can help, and for that matter, even if it is in the simple form of blogging. If it helps, then get it out there in print. Thanks for reading my rant today ...
thank you for coming and commenting on my blog.... you have no idea what it really is like to have people you don't really know... or maybe know you too well offer up support when things happen to you...
these blogs are a fantastic place to meet people who are like you, and are suffing though similar things to yourself.. and who may have gone through things and you don't need to say much but just be there...
(that so doesn't make sense!)
i've made so many fantastic friends through the world of blogging... and i wouldn't give them up in a heart beat... i love jumping on and chatting to them... some people lead such interesting lives...
what you say about your brother i really can understand it... i wonder what would it have been like had my own been unsuccessful.... what would it have been like knowing he could try it again and again.... but there's not much you can do except support them and be there for them and just be sure that they know just how much you love them...
i blog about anything.... you guys were the first people that i turned to at 2am.... the ones that'd be there to listen when all my other friends were sleeping... sometimes it's easier to blog about things then to talk about in real life...., a way of getting things in your own mind sorted before you spring them on the world..
A simple blog really. This is my weight loss journey, some of the events in my days and hopefully provide the opportunity to share words and thoughts. Thanks for visiting.
