>Elaine, I didn't know Clive but I saw the effect he had on you when we met last year! You are a brave, beautiful lady and I know you will "handle" this as you say. I lost my sister very suddenly just over 2 years ago in a similar fashion so I have experience of the "one minute they're here, next they're gone" but all I can offer you, as others will, is that it takes time. I still come across things that remind me of her and I still feel sad that she's not here and we didn't even get on that well!! I love Clive's attitude of "it's happened, deal with it" and it is positive. Take care and let others take care of you too. Love in a big hug, Angelita xx
>Hi Elaine
I just wanted to say what an amazing piece you have written here. I am totally taken aback by your courage. I have no idea how you are feeling as I never been through anything like you in the past few days, but I send all my love, support and strength to help get you through this time. Your words and passion have actually helped me this morning, so I would like to thank you too for that.
Clive will be so so proud of you for carry on his fabulous attitude to life.
Keep going forward

>Elaine, please know I hold you in my thoughts & send you strength and love. I can hardly begin to conceive how overwhelmed you might be feeling, not only with the lost of your beautiful partner but also with the avalanche of love & support from his many, many friends.
I saw this verse at a funeral on Tuesday and thought it may provide a little solace, perhaps like balm for a bruised heart …..
He is gone….
You can shed tears that he has gone; Or you can smile that he lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left you.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him, or your heart can be full of the love you have shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow, because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he has gone, or you can cherish his memory and let him live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want, smile, open your eyes, love and carry on…..
Keep shining

>Hey Elaine,
You're fantastic and truly keeping Clive's spirit alive.
Valerian tea is the herbal tea you want before bed.
Huge love,

>Elaine. I came across this which I feel fits perfectly for you. I know I never met Clive but I know how happy he made you feel. And always keep these words below close to you, as they ring so true.
"Love is stronger than death, even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death."

After hearing about the loss of Clive, my Elaine took 9 bunches of floweres to work, and before her colleagues arrived, she placed them on their desks with an e-mail for each saying "these are for a friend from Clive"
They were all so touched by this and it made my Elaine feel so much pleasure inside. Once again an idea from the truly inspiring Clive Gott has a touching outcome!
We saw Clive at all the FLP Success Days and he always made us laugh, but also inspired us.
Although we did not know him closely, we were big fans of his and for us he will be really missed.
Our hearts go out to you Elaine

Hi there! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I’m
trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to
fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Many thanks!
Hello my friend! I wish to say that this article is awesome, nice written
and include approximately all vital infos. I’d like to see extra posts like this .
Oh my goodness! Impressive article dude! Thanks, However I am having problems with your RSS.
I don’t know why I can’t join it. Is there anybody else having similar RSS problems?
Anyone who knows the answer will you kindly respond?
Thanx!!
Its like you learn my thoughts! You seem to know so much about this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or
something. I feel that you can do with some p.c. to drive the
message home a little bit, however instead of that, that is wonderful blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.
