The Christmas Wish

I named this the Christmas Wish because it is in this time year that people run around nearly losing their minds worrying about will they have enough to get through the Christmas season. Even though people you pass on the streets may be merry and smiling and full of the Christmas cheer. What's behind the eyes may hold a different story.
For many many people out there Christmas is the saddest time of the year as they have a loved one in Spirit that they miss so much that when each Christmas comes round their hearts are heavy with grief. I had to do this blog because i connected with a lady who just lost her Husband in the last month unfortunately it was through suicide that took him into the Spirit world as i sat and listened to this poor woman talk about how he had sat at the dinner table the night before and laughed with her over silly things that their grandchildren had done just a few weeks ago. She did not know that when she said goodnight to him that it would be the last time she would see him alive.
Nothing can prepare anyone for the shock that awaited her the following morning. The pain and grief engulfs every breath she takes. Each step she takes each thought she thinks leads to the question Why? I didn't even know that he was feeling down in himself. The thing with depression is that its a silent killer it creeps up on you and before you know it your consumed one way or another it takes over. I need to talk about this as unfortunately depression is something that can effect anyone and it can leave a tsunami of turmoil in its wake. It seems that even though there is so much awareness about mental health issues still there are those who feel they are trapped and have nobody to talk to or maybe they may feel judged or possibly have been told "ah you will be grand just keep busy" .Its words like this that lead them into a much deeper state of being alone as only if you have suffered with this disease will you truly be able to have compassion for those who are suffering. That feeling of being in a very busy place and knowing every person around you and yet you feel totally alone. Its this that pulls you even further down and separates you whether you realize it or not from life itself.
So here is my Christmas Wish even if only one person out there reads this message and does something small for someone who may need a listening ear please let the people you love most in the world know that you love them and that you are always there. Sometimes especially around this time of year we get caught up in the mayhem of rushing and running around like headless chickens. Completely unaware that maybe your brother or sister your mum or your dad or your best friend in the world is feeling alone .Or maybe that person you pass everyday on the street is feeling isolated and may have nothing to go home to. So i propose this at some point in the next couple of weeks i dare each and everyone of you to do something let it be big or small for someone it doesn't have to be a huge gesture but a simple phone call or make it your business to connect even with a total stranger on the street. If you see an elderly person struggling with crossing a road or carrying shopping don't pass thinking ah sure someone else will help them. Stop and offer your help. It is in doing simple things like this that reminds people that there are still genuine caring human beings out there.
You have the power today to literally make someones day by taking a few minutes to look around you and see that there are lots of people around that may just need a simple smile or hello.
There are so many people alone out there for Christmas and the sad thing is they feel invisible to everyone around them. Please please please if you could just spare a thought and one small gesture to someone you will be helping there Angel come closer to them and whether you know it or not you may even save someones life. It's as simple as that. It pains me to sit with any human being who has lost someone through depression. As it is the family that's left behind who is left in the hell and torment of blaming themselves. I am trying to keep this blog short today but direct in the knowledge that YOU can make a difference TODAY!...so there you go i challenge you all to do something small and know that each little seen and unseen thing you do with love comes back a thousand times to you and yours and your Angels applaud your actions. Go for it
With love and Blessings to you and yours.
