Changes, Pain and Growth


It's been almost a year since I've written on this blog. During that time, my life has been turned upside down. My marriage ended, my beautiful dog died, and I loved and lost a wonderful CF soulmate. I have explored grief on deep levels over the past year, and continue to do so.

The world soldiers on and I having been trying to keep up. Some days I am almost successful, many days I have fallen behind.

Spring is here and it lifts me up to see the sun and evidence of renewal. I am hopeful I will find acceptance and healing in all of 2009's losses. I am hopeful I will remember the lessons that this profound grief has been teaching me.

I feel a part of a new club, one that understands how oblivious the world can be to the devastation of grief. One that understands that a person's internal world is often compromised and shut down in order to "stay strong," push grief aside, and give the world what it asks for. I hope I will keep this perspective and remember to reach out my hand to others when they are in the darkness.

During my time of losses, I also had moments of creation. I have written my Patient Advocacy Handbook. This workbook on individual advocacy is on sale now in honor of upcoming advocacy and advance care planning events! Get them now before this offer expires (for real). The extended workbook on community, system and political advocacy is due out this summer.

I hope to visit this blog more and share my life with you again. I have missed the connection and exchange of ideas this blog allows. As you can understand, sometimes we need to retreat into our privacy. That's where I have been over the last year. I thank you for respecting that and am grateful for those who have been supportive. I am grateful to the universe for allowing me such depth of experience.

This Sunday, I celebrate 6 years post second transplant and the following Sunday makes 10 years since my first transplant. I am lucky, this I can never lose sight of. I am grateful.

With lost of love,
Tiff

I was hurt and heart broken when a very big problem occurred in my marriage seven months ago, between me and my wife . so terrible that she took the case to court to file a divorce. She said that she cannot continue to stay with me again, and she said "I don't love you anymore" So she took her things out of the house and made me and my children passed through several emotional pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back, after much begging, but all to no avail. and she confirmed it that she has made her decision, and she never wanted to see me again. So one evening, as i was coming back from work ,i meant an old friend of mine who asked of my wife .So i explained every thing to him, so he told me that the only way i can get my wife back, is to visit a prophet to know what is really behind this issue, because it has really worked for other people too. So i never believed in spell, but i had no other choice than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the Email address of the prophet. prophetehiagwina @gmail .com. So the next morning, i sent a mail to the address he gave to me, and the prophet respond the following day and assured me that i will get my wife back the next day. Hopefully I believed since my friend recommended me to him, ,so we discussed and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who didn't call me for the past 7 months, gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back. So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day ,with lots of love and joy, and she apologized on her mistake ,and for the pain she caused me and my children.
