Small/tiny things

I was just thinking about the small things that make a huge difference in the life.  And mostly when it’s unexpected, makes all the positive   Of course, you get anticipation at birthdays and Christmases and weddings etc.

Yes, small things could be terrible.  For example, during the Second World War (not sure about the first) people would receive a telegram to let their relatives were dead. missing or lost at sea.  There may have been other messages they were given but those are the ones I know of.

But you want to think of lovely small things.  Not that you are DENYING anything negative you don’t want to think about or remember.  Some people believe that you “get over” bad events but I can tell you that you don’t.  But even in the worsts situations, there is SOMETHING that you can pull out of it.  Maybe it’s as simple as a smile when you are feeling down, maybe it’s someone just contacting you.

One nurse gave us excellent advice and said “If the baby had survived, would you be happy?”  I think you know the answer to that one!  So she told us that even though they are not here, they still WANT you to be happy.”  And that is one of the many things that has helped me through my losses.

And I am getting interested in how I’m changing and what things are changing for me.
