  • This video is about S3E19 THE WORLD STANDS STILL
    After viewing Andrew Ditton's beautiful video this week I told him he had inspired me to write a poem.....This is the first poem I have written since I had my stroke in 2016. Being in the Shielded, At High Risk Group could be considered a time to be fearful and miserable but it doesn't for me. Its given me the advantage of feeling safe, protected and cared for and I will be eternally grateful to all those who have put themselves at risk to help people like me. This time, locked away, has made me think and also made me more aware of my beautiful surroundings. I thought I'd just express some feelings and share them with you

    Thank you Lin x I parked up the other week for a bit of time out on a country lane. It was amazing how quiet it was. Deafening in fact as you couldn’t even hear the cars on the roads. Take care you too and we may meet one day again out on the road. X

    Hi Lin, just to let you know Dad passed away peacefully yesterday with a nurse, not family beside him. Today l sat in the garden quietly and l listened to children playing a bee buzzing, a cow mooing and a sheep bleating, today l stood still and l listened. Thank you your words really help me to feel better.

      Nila Kavanagh I am so sorry for you loss. What a beautiful thing you have written and I thank you. Not only for your compliments and beautiful words, but for being so strong and brave when your world is falling apart.....and a special thank you for letting me know. I have been thinking and praying for you Nila, you have been on my mind so much. You see, I very nearly didn't put up that poem for several reasons but at the time I convinced myself that if my words could reach and help just one person I had done my job.
      I remember being very angry as a child when I first faced death. I expected the world to come to a standstill in my naivety but it doesn't. Only the grieving stop while the world goes on......and you Nila recognise that, so the grieving process has begun. It will be such a hard road for you to travel but try not to be hung up on his passing without you, because I know that's how you will be feeling. I will tell you of my mothers death, not for myself but to try and help you. I knew her death would be coming......I had sat with her constantly for a couple of days by her bedside in the hospital. She was very much coherent and insisted ....and insisted....I go home. She was getting agitated so I told her I would, and told her I'd be back first thing in the morning. My mother, I'm convinced, was waiting for me to go home and get some rest so she could die alone. I got a call at 5am to say she'd passed when I told her I'd be back at 5:30am. She was the strongest person I'd ever known and I knew she had willed her own death so I would not be there. I was very cross with her as I had always been there for several people at their death. It took me a few weeks to come to terms with her wish to die alone. I am sure she chose to do that to ease my pain. I then became very cross with myself, as it was her wish, and I should accept it. So what I'm trying to say to you Nila is that it isn't always the dying wish of the person to have their loved ones there. Even with Dementia. When you can't be there, it is natural for you to want to be there but sometimes it is better to accept. Of course I could be completely wrong about how you are feeling ( and I know you will tell me if I'm wrong) but please know that acceptance is as strong as love itself. Not even death can take all that love and all those wonderful memories away. I so hope this has helped you as this is my only intention. God Bless - Lin xx

    Hi Nila. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely but sad message to me in your hours of darkness. I am a bit lost for words to be honest which is so not like me. I will say some prayers for you and please if I can help in any way let me know. I have lost a friend this week but we don't know if it was covid19 so I have some understanding of what you must be going through . I pray I can take some of your pain away while you wait darling. Not knowing if you believe i will ask God to Bless you anyway - Lin xx

      Morning Lin, thank you so much for all your prayers and kind thoughts, you said if your poem helps and touches one person you would be happy. I can genuinely say it has made a difference for me and I'm sure many people who have watched and listened to it will be to. Thank you so much. xx

      Hi Nila, Just popping in to see how you are doing and thank you for being so kind. Been thinking of you a lot lately as such a lot of my friends have lost loved ones recently. Not to covid19 but probably contributed to their deaths. Take care and try to keep smiling ~ Lin xx.

      @@HomefromHomewithLinRich Hi, what a lovely surprise to hear from you, it's a weird time over the last few weeks we have lost dad and 5 yes 5 friends and work colleagues l now have what's known as my funeral top, but dad was the only one taken by the virus the others by existing illnesses. I really wish this would all end and everyone would be safe. I work in a school with a nursery class there is no way they can social distance they don't have any idea of 2meters some don't even blow their own noses. One a lighter side while reading a story to the children I have had to ask children not to lick my knee, stop playing with my toes and say stop stroking my leg, always in a kind way , but it just show the relationship between teacher and child. Can't wait to have them all on the carpet ready for another story. It's very exciting news about your motor home and I'm excited to see it and watch your adventure in it. I have told friends who are suffering at the moment to watch you read your poem hope the get comfort from it as l did . Stay safe and well. Xx
