Ever so often when I'm writing about grief, pain ... I stop to let everyone know 'why' I always write about such. I know it best of all ... I've known it my whole life ... I've lived it. I've always lost so much in my life ... I've kept going. I fell down ... when it was thought I'd never get back up ... I got up from the blows of life. I'm still standing. I always stress that I don't need sympathy or advice ... I just don't need that at all. I've gone through all mostly on my own without talking to anyone ... no one ever knowing what was inside me. Why? So I don't pull others down with my pain ... because I'm very private. Because I can't cry in front of others ... I can't let others 'see' my pain. I can let them see a smiling face. You see ... the reason I write my grief, pain ... is because I can't talk about it like a lot of you can. I write it because if I don't ... I would just die from it all ... because it's too big to stay inside me. That's the biggest 'why' of all. Photo owned, is of Gloria Faye Brown Bates and Camie Leigh ... our Pup.

Hi Gloria, that is a very good reason to write. It's all about sharing. Happiness will multiply and sadness will go away when you get to share. I'm happy that you find a way to keep yourself strong and content. Writing does the same thing to me too. :)

I'm glad you understand! I know if I quit writing ... I would become a stagnant pond!

There are times it really helps to express emotions just to be able to get on with life.

For me ... that's what writing does. If I didn't write I hate to think what would happen. I'm like a river that has to keep flowing freely.

It's good, to express. If we don't have someone to say our heart then we can write it down, we feel light from inside
