Re- Evaluating My Boat Life #204

My life has been turned upside down recently and my heart feels heavy with sadness. It doesn't feel right to return to my boat life and carry on as normal. This video shows how I try to come to terms with my grief. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

That wasn't just a seed. It arrived to bring you peace, love, beauty and reflection. It patiently stayed dancing and shining in its moment until your were ready to take its leave. You are not alone, and you are loved ❤

[buffplums]

I know this is your personal grief and time of reflection Vanessa but thank you for sharing your poignant moments with us, it is an honour to be allowed to share these moments in the video and think kind thoughts for you ❤

They come to us when we need them most. She was giving you a beautiful sunset to let you know you she is always with you.

Dear Vanessa, I think your video is the most moving and beautiful I have ever seen. Your drawing and poem… I haven’t the words to tell you how much I was moved. I am so sorry that you have lost your dear friend. That wonderful day you shared with us will always be a comfort to you. Bless you. 🌷💕

When my beautiful sister Sandy passed away very young, I saw the brightest of stars in the night sky. I kept going out into the garden to catch a glimpse of her. That was 25 years ago, and I still see her in the night sky. I miss her dearly.

Your friend will be in your heart for ever and ever. My deepest condolences to you. ❤️

I am a believer in signs to show of a passed loved ones presence. The stunning sunset was Francesca's gift to you. After my dad passed away, mom and I saw the most vibrant rainbow we had ever seen and figured that it was his gift to us. Some people will think that this is strange.
The seed was like an ethereal being floating through the duck hatch and then exploring your home.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful villages you visit and the nature that surrounds you.

Beautiful, wonderfully beautiful.
Our loved ones never leave us, we just have to watch for them. Their love never ends.
Your friend is reminding you of how important your work with nature is to everyone. You are a blessing.

It is such a relief that you are back, if you will pardon my selfishness, Vanessa. Your videos, filming, voice, , drawings, poems, observations & presence are such a balm to my soul & spirit, always calming me & reminding me of what is sacred & beautiful. Im so sorry for your deep loss & sadness. Thankyou for your bravery & authenticity, as well as the beauty, peace & gifts you bring. Be gentle & extra kind with yourself.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My daughter passed away last summer and just when I need her most one of her fave songs plays, or dragonflies and butterflies appear once in a while. I’ll even have a feather. It’s just been a year and I need those signs. Believe in them as they will help you because each day they are gone is one day. We are closer to being with them again.❤

[katashley]

Ah, as soon as I saw that magnificent sunset I felt it was Francesca, letting you know she's with you always, and to continue to do the things which being you great joy. It just felt like love.

The smallest thing can give us comfort when we most need it. When my grandmother died, one of my aunts was understandably very upset. She was talking to us about a butterfly broach that my grandmother used to wear, and as she was doing so, a live butterfly flew along and landed on her coat. It only stayed a few seconds before continuing on, but the sense of comfort and consolation it gave my aunt was palpable. Take care. xox

My mum died last year, I feel her through many things most of all nature. It can be such a comfort. The scene with the seed head was stunning. Thank you x

[CathyPinner]

That was so beautiful and I loved your words: "new life only starts to grow when you are ready to let go"

[bondbug]

Being back on your narrow boat gently cruising down the beautiful waterways in amongst the wildlife, and a huge mushroom in your kitchen is what your dear friend Francesca would have wanted for you Vanessa. Take care. 🌼♥️

Vanessa often times the key to healing, be it from a physical condition or a mental challenge, is to continue doing what you enjoy doing the best. Only you can make that choice, nobody else.

Be well, for the dusk always turns back to dawn.
