Home During Sudden Sorrow or Shock (5)


Hello Everyone,
At the request of some of my readers and listeners, I have created some videos dealing with the problem of sudden stress in the family.  While I cannot know personally about every person's family situation, I tried to cover some of the basic things. 

While I am planning to go on to other subjects, I am getting such interesting feedback, ideas and solutions to sudden sorrows at home, that I had to do one more broadcast on the subject.



I have been on a sightseeing walk today. I love the neat rows of the crops in the fields surrounding The Manse:


The subject of this episode includes a few small things that may help draw a family member's heart back to their home.  I read this poem called "Outwitted" which illustrates the principle of including lost loved one, if possible, in your life at every opportunity:

Outwitted

“He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him In!”


― Edwin Markham

I also read from the book, "The Jane Austen Diet" about the concept of having quiet time to balance the sudden shocks of life. 
 
Please listen while you work or walk:
