hi everyone...doesn't the sunshine bring a little more joy to us and a little gardening as we get on with our futures or at least try to..



I took my young family member out for a few hours today by thr seaside for some well needed fresh air and solitude..it was so peaceful and he loved it ..im trying to support building up his confidence back into the community we never expect this to be something in life qe deal with but after the worst hurdles we can hopefully begin to move forward one step at a time ..there isn't a day goes by a dpnt thibk about all this mess and juat how messy the world is actually I try not feed my mind with negative thoughts so much and what ifs anymore and I feel I can breathe a little easier today after spending some time outdoors with my young family memberi wouldn't have thought this 8 months ago but each day things ease a little it never goes away but smiles are back and the small group of support he has makes such a difference to shaping his future and leaving this behind us to never happen again



hope you all have as good as a day as you can try get outdoors forget the world for an hour , lay in a field or park, let you bare feet walk the grass and ground ourselves , do some yoga breath the air and remember were not alone xx

Sunshine is positive for the emotions, no doubt.

But it can make me feel a little sad to be honest as I long for my son to be free.....for him to feel it's heat and breathe in the fresh air....

But he will do, one day x

he will one day and you will be able to enjoy that with him ?? it's hard I feel your sorrow and grief for your son ..even though my person has his freedom, he reallt doesn't at present because he barely goes outside today I just urged him to come with me because he feels safe ..but he's locked into himself and will be for a while to come xx

Thankyou for your lovely post. Today I met a new friend in a garden and it felt good . I almost cancelled but didn't and was so glad I didn't and felt the sun on my face. Since the knock life has been challenging. Post sentencing, we are stepping forward and travelling hopefully.

ah that's lovely that you were able to get out and have some good company it really does make a small difference hopefully you can look forward to going somewhere nice ???? I know all of our situations are different but we experience the same trauma and share the same feelings never felt as close to a group of strangers in my life just by reading each of our journeys , we share so much but are complete strangers
