This morning I watched bits of the Remembrance Service from last night (and Strictly highlights too but thats not what this is about!)
So Remembrance Service - It got me thinking about life, all of us , our experiences and what bought us all here now.
We are no doubt a mixed bunch of people with varying degrees of grief, anxieties and hope for the future. As a generation most of us won't have experienced the traumas or hardships that our parents and grandparents did, I consider myself so lucky that my Stepdad survived the D-Day landings and bought such joy into my Mums life, my life and the lives of my children.
However, for me the programme reinforced my belief that we are the lucky ones- we got to say goodbye.
It may not always feel like it to all of you, but you should take comfort from the fact that you played such an important role in the passing of your loved ones and gave them the comfort and support they needed right up to the end.
We may not all be war heroes but we all sacrificed something - our own feelings were put to the side when we were needed the most and for that I think we should all be very proud of ourselves.
