You and James must truly be best friends. I know that when we lose someone that we are so very close to we get a hole in our heart that cannot heal. Nothing can fill it. True we can move forward in our lives and redefine purpose, and learn…"

Polly Gee replied to Liz Ann's discussion Is anyone familiar with Australian Aboriginal Smoking Ceremony?"Hi Liz
I have witnessed an Aboriginal smoking ceremony at my sons school. To the best of my knowledge the ceremony is performed by an aboriginal elder and the purpose is to clear away bad energy / feelings and replace them with peace and harmony.
No…"

I was going through my Ma's camera, and from the photos and video taken, it looks like she had an Aboriginal elder perform a smoking ceremony in her new home.I'm pretty ignorant on the purpose of these ceremonies. What do they do? Mum respected Aboriginal lore pretty seriously, now I wonder if that's why, even after her passing, her home is still so comforting and warm to me.But yeah, if anyone can fill me in on what these ceremonies do, I'd be greatly appreciative!See More

Dennis C. replied to Liz Ann's discussion When do you get help? Should I get help?"Death is not natural. In fact the Bible calls it an enemy. " As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing."
Death is such a painful thing that even Jesus was moved with deep emotion when he experienced the loss of a loved…"

I'm going through something I find hard to describe.After the death of one of my closest and most loved friends, I'm finding I go through periods where I am obsessed with him. I just stare at his picture, imagine talking to him and thinking of what he would say about situations.I can be utterly joyful at times, so thankful I knew such a beautiful person. I smile at his picture, send it kisses and feel bright and happy. Then I drop into a hole of despair and physical pain, where I do imagine I…See More

anne posted a blog postI saw God today!
I have been befuddled over the passing of the 10 year old boy that was hit by a car last week. My grandchildren were in my care all last week so there wasn't much time for deep thought. Npw that I am alone now I'm having lots of thoughts about it, so I went to the farm for a little distraction, plus the grass out there really needed cutting. I brought my dog Zero with me. Zero's getting old and I want him to have a good summer. Anyway Zero and I took a trip to the farm. I buzzed around cutting…See More

Christine Leakey posted a blog postHello, Anxiety
In two days my sister will have been gone from this world for 180 days. 6 months. Each hour we get closer to the 20th my anxiety builds. I can't breathe, I can't think straight, I have no appetite, my heart is pounding, my hands are shaking and I just want to disappear. People around me can feel the anxiety radiating off me. I know that Thursday will be just another day for so many people in the world but I desperately don't want Thursday to come. I know it will accomplish nothing and change…See More
