  From July until October, I had a rash that doctors could not successfully treat. I was told that I had shingles, was allergic to several medicines, was on 2 rounds of steroids, all to no avail. I finally figured out what I was allergic to MYSELF. Blogging helped me out tremendously during this time because I felt like I drove my husband crazy complaining!

  When I was four, my dad killed himself. I didn’t know this was how he died until I was 14, and I became really depressed. To help myself heal, I immersed myself in poetry. I wrote and wrote for years, and continue to write to this day. I don’t still write poetry as I have since healed from my loss, but I’ll always read what I have written with fondness knowing what it got me through.

  My daughter was 3 1/2 when my father passed away. Since he’d been sick for a couple of years we visited my dad several times a month and he and my daughter developed a special bond. When he finally passed I explained the life cycle to my daughter using examples in nature. When myself or others would cry I told her that grief was a natural process for survivors and that she didn’t have to be afraid of it or feel uncomfortable about it in any way. I didn’t realize it until much later but having to explain grief and dying to my daughter helped me let my father go and it allowed me to go with my emotions when I needed to which helped me to heal faster than I otherwise would have.

  Hi Susan,

  Unfortunately, I lost my father on the 4th birthday of my daughter, my only child then. The day was supposed to be a simple celebration with the family, but it turned out to be one of the loneliest days of my life.

  Although we knew that he was already sick, I realized we can never be prepared to lose someone we love. The whole week was full of sadness for me. I wish we had more time to talk, to bond, and to enjoy each other as friends. Not that we hate each other, but due to poverty bonding moments was limited.

  No one can bring back my happiness that time, until a surprise came right after he was buried. My wife learned that she was pregnant to our second child. I was so happy, and felt that GOD is really smart.

  Eventually, the child was a boy and I really consider him as a gift. This is what my father has been requesting to me all the while, since he really wanted to have a grandson.

  Just when I thought GOD closed a window of my life, he opened the door and gave me another reason to enjoy life again.

  I even made a blog post about it around 2 months ago.

  Thanks.

  When I was 20 years old I was involved in an accident at work and I lost vision in my left eye. I always tried to keep a positive attitude and try and smile and appreciate everything that I do have. This month will be my 20th year without signt in my left eye and I have become an optician. I help those who can’t see by sharing my story and also by picking them out a nice pair of glasses that shows off thier face. I try and bring out a smile in all that I come across. I feel that when something so valuable as your eyesite is taken away one must learn to appreciat all other senses that we are given. I have been surrounded by so much love and positive words and that is what I give back to others.

  When I was in my early 20’s I went through a really rough patch of depression. I started doing yoga and meditating and it was incredibly helpful. When I first started meditating I couldn’t see any color, but gradually the color in my life started to return.

  Hi Susan,

  Got your mail that I won a copy of your book. Thanks for choosing me. However, my response bounced back but I send it again to you via your gmail.

  Anyway, the link to my blog is on my name here and I believe you already have my home address since I am one of your affiliates.

  Thanks!
