Glad I could help. It can be very powerful to describe and fully capture unkind and hurtful behaviour towards us. It means our ‘soul hurt’ feels heard.beanielou said:

THank you. xKajiKita said:Funerals can be dire like that. Been to a few myself … it’s why I tried so hard to include something about every aspect of FiL’s life / everyone he knew, so they all felt ‘seen’.And yes, that happening on top of my aunt, uncle and cat’s deaths in the last year means I am holding those I treasure in far more love and honour than before.Sending hugs x
It was like they spoke of a man I diden't know due to prior family conflict. In my opinion it should not have been referred to. In fact to be honest my friend & I were shocked, horrified & saddened by it..I’m glad you had your friend to share genuine and true memories of him.KK
It keeps repeating in my head. The revenge of the weak & petty. xxHope today there is sunshine for you 🌞

Oh Lou I hope the falls weren't too bad, although the shock of falling is bad enough. Hope you have antibiotics for the water infection.... that on its own is going to make you feel like cr @p Time to give yourself some extra special care and pamper yourself in any way you can. (((hugs))) XX
I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy3 -
Sorry to hear that, hope you are ok and the infection clears quickly. xx"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee1
