He didn't even unlock the shed. He gardened but also spent hours just sitting staring into space.<br />Then someone from his church phoned and said, "I need some help to cut up the timber for a job at the cathedral. Can I bring it down and use your circular saw."<br />Of course my father said "Yes." They had to do the job between them. The following day my father went back to his woodwork. I think that (a) being needed and (b) doing something quite ordinary at the point of being needed were the circuit breakers for him. <br />It's hard though.

In 2001 my mum, dad and husband (age 47) all died suddenly and my first book was published uncelebrated. I was advised by a grief counsellor to write to my dead husband each day - so I kept writing, but all the creativity was knocked out of me and I was sure I'd never write for children again. To my surprise, after a few months it returned in a rush. Now 14 years and 80 plus books on.Jane Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01361379190770989657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-46407043688301117282015-06-10T08:51:11.662+01:002015-06-10T08:51:11.662+01:00Beautiful.

I'm glad to hear your creativity has come back and that the music makes you think of him in a positive way. I think I would cry if I played my own Dad's favourite music.Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
