There are actually many things that break my heart nowadays.
I seem to get upset more easily and so cannot always watch the news on television.
Perhaps the worst for me, having lost two children, is to see sick children and have brave and innocent they are -this truly breaks my heart when there are so many older, nasty people around.
I can not even get my head around your loss dear Finy.
It brings tears to my eyes, as I'm a mum.
BIG Hugs xoxo wish I could hug you right now :(
thanks -i shouldnt keep bringing it up but it just seems to be connected to a lot of answers! sorry.....life is cruel but beats the alternative.
never say sorry Finy.
Yours is a heavy burden in life, and no one has a right to say a thing!
Only You. :)
I am sincerely sorry for your loss.
Can't imagine losing my kids, Finy - my heart goes out to you!
thanks to all of you !! as I said it IS the pits...
I love this. Given that so many find themselves questioning the existence of God, or any deity, because of the terrible things that go on in the world, I thought I'd include it.
Crap, I should've included it in my first post. Sorry. Also sorry that you can't actually read it.
The hardships of life - just an ongoing struggle for so many people all over the world,that have to go with out their basic needs being met.
Loss of life is extremely heart breaking but The loss of a child is the greatest and worst heartbreak. My thoughts are with all those who have lost a child.
Watching and listening to all the heartbreak around gives me a greater appreciation of life.
zen -and the sad part is there are MANY parents who have lost children -you just dont read about it mostly.
Sick and abused children and animals always touch my heart in a huge way,This never lessens,but rather upsets me more with each occurrence! I am another one who dislikes watching the News on most occasions! There is just SO much sadness in the world that I make it a point every single day when I wake up,to go outside for an hour during the quiet of the almost perfect early hours and enjoy the sound of the birds as they start to stir,and the sight of the dew on my precious beautiful plants which I nurture with the same love I give to my family and pets.If I can begin my day with a smile, then I find I can give a smile to others when they need one! I am truly blessed to be personally happy (NOT wealthy!) and I really do enjoy the simple pleasures life has to offer me.
My heart does ache for those who are not as fortunate as I am.
Humanity! So much potential, so many possibilities for good but so preoccupied with self. Equipped with immense innate logic but overpopulates for ego or religion. Destroys its only home in the pursuit of wealth and luxury. Denies resources to its own future generations by permitting capitalism to become the over-arching principle. A species which could have been a bright light for millennia is going to decimate itself in a super-nova like flash of short-lived glory.
Abused & murdered children. Can't watch anything with hurt baby/child since I had my own children.
Cruelty to animals really upsets me.
IF I won multi-millions in Lotto, would buy huge tract of land to build refuges for Horses, Dogs & Cats. Would also give to Children's Hospitals.
All the awful & sad stuff that happens in our world.
Why can't people be nicer to each other? Life is so short. Another things is, my husband having nothing to do with our eldest daughter, due to her partner. This would have been going on for 3 years, next month.
