I've never been a religious person, but I have great admiration for people with such strong faith.
Personally I love to go to mediums etc, it's nice to feel like someone is looking out for you
Where do you pull personal strength from when times are tough? |

I usually pull up distant memories of parents who coped with much worse than anything I've had to go through, and managed to keep the chin up regardless. Tá siad imithe anois  |

I do look at people in worse situations and try and feel grateful for the fact what ever it is Im going through isn't a patch on them, but I end up feeling guilty and ungrateful then for all the good in my life! |

I know my parents are watching over me, I know they are listening to me when I talk to them at their graveside! They let their presence be known to me and it makes me smile, makes my day it does!   |

My nephew, he's 5, only lives 2 miles away from me, I love him to bits, there's nobody else I love more in my family, he's what's making me want to live my life to the best of my ability as life's too short!! |

I've always been happy with my lot, apart from money and sex, and the financial issues have only arisen since the recession kicked my business in the hole. I don't think anyone knows what anyone else is really going through as so many problems are relative. I recall an acquaintance of mine, of who's life I was secretly envious, who took his own life because he was so disappointed with his lot. It's a strange world. I also hate people saying things like "chin up, it could be so much worse" Grrrrrrrrr! |

That's rough alright. I guess having someone who totally depends on you has a way of keeping you going. It can't be easy though. |

Very true Kim, and usually this is how I approach life, maybe it's just the time of year? Can't seem to get my head in a good positive place |

I don't really have religious faith after my mother's passing for her to be giving the all clear from cancer to dying 7 months later how could god be so cruel to give false hope. So my religious faith went out the window.
I did go to medium after her passing and call me naive but I got great comfort from it. I have amazing friends and my relationship with my father has improved more as we much closer to each other. My children give me great strength too, they don't realise the comfort they give me but even then smallest things they do I get comfort from them.

That's really sad about your mother, getting the all clear then for her to go 7 months later....I don't know what to say to you on that... I guess being closer to your Dad, your kids and having great friends are the positive things worth focusing on!! |

I don't have faith as such but I think back to the day I buried my daughter and I think things are never as bad as that day. We work through things because we HAVE to. |

I'm not a very spiritual person at all and I'm not a believer really in mediums etc.
I do think though that whatever might give you comfort can only be good.

Ive never been a fan of religion nor has Ms.innocent. If times are hard and lord knows plenty of people have had hard times the last few years I think of my three year old daughter or Ms.innocent and think you know what they make whatever hard times I'm going through bearable for the simple fact I have them and that's all that matters to me. |

Not religious or spiritual. ...shit things happen and thats when you find out who you can really rely on no matter what! And of course knowing that we have 3 great healthy kids that we're lucky have gives me a reason to get up in the morning! |

I am not very religious but if it helps people get through the tough times - it ain't bad.
As a guide to living a fruitful life - religion can be a good thing. There is nothing wrong with the 10 Commandments as a template.
Religion - when it is used to control people and their actions, is a load of crap. |

I have to agree, the Ten Commandments as a moral compass isn't a bad thing, but religion in my eyes is just a modern day cult |

Yeah but - religion isn't modern - it controls the Hindus to accept crap in their caste system.
It drives Muslims to Holy war
It makes Jews think their God gave them the promised land.
Scientology is probably the modern version of it.

I tend to get depressed for a while, moan and whinge and then some day I just get up and get on with things.
I'm not great at coping I think. But friends and family really help when things get tough. |
