The ❤️ – when we talk about it we have an emotion attached because we are feeling! 

Our hearts can be filled, loved, broken.. we can have a big heart, a shattered heart or our heart can be over flowing….

There are very few of us who do not have hairline cracks in our heart, some of us have fractured hearts which need nurturing and mending…some of us have hearts which at the moment are numb..devoid of feeling because we are so broken… some of us have hearts bursting with pride, with love with fulfilment!

What we all have in common is that are hearts are still beating…the beat might be frantic, slower, louder or quieter – but your heart is still beating.

Whether you heart is beating to a happier, sadder or normal tune it’s still – beat, beat, beating!

With every beat there is a breath, with every breath you live another moment to love… love yourself and others…

There is a very finite, final line between death and life, when I held Gary in my arms for his final heart beats….it was one of the most intense, comforting and real moments of my life.

It may seem at times that you can’t breathe you’re gasping for air, you’re panic stricken and you just can’t go on – but if you have a beat in your heart…you can… I’ve been there when there was frantic panic, saddened fears, blinding heart break and a crack so deep and so raw in my heart it felt that nothing could heal or even soothe it..

However I have learnt that although a broken heart can never be fully healed – a broken heart can be massaged back to a happy beat again…a broken heart can be lifted, a broken heart can feel lighter…

The rhythm can return to the heart, it will be perhaps a different tune but the orchestra of family, friends and the touch of love will allow all of us to dance again in life!
