So sorry to bring such sad news but Helen Valiant has passed away.
I have just read so on Frank Prem’s Facebook page. We all hope she passed as painlessly and calmly as possible .
Sending support and love to her family.
I like to think she reunited with her husband now.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light ?? I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits. View all posts by willowdot21

Psalm 103,
There are people out there who’ve written far wiser words than ever I’ll manage 🙂
Me too but you know of them and used them widely. 💜 Thank you again
Rest in peace.
Yes indeed 💜
I know… Really sad 😢
Yes so very sad 💜
Thank you for letting us know, Willow. As sad as this is to hear, I have no doubt her beautiful soul has found peace and return to her beloved. ❤
Yes indeed that is what I am hoping 💜
❤
I don’t think I knew her that well, but I’m sorry to hear this.
We are all sorry John , it was so fast 💜
For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.
Our days on earth are like grass;
like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
The wind blows, and we are gone—
as though we had never been here.
So we have a big responsibility to support and help whilst we’re here 🙂
That’s so beautiful Jim thank you 💜
Sending condolences and prayers.
Thank you that’s all we can do 💜
I am so sorry to learn about Helene. I haven’t been online for quite a while and this is such sad news. She was gentle in her words. I pray eternal rest and peace to her.
Yes indeed such a beautiful soul, thankfully free from pain now 💜
I am truly saddened, even though I had only become acquainted with Helene quite recently. My condolences to her family. She will be sadly missed here and by everyone who knew her.
I am so sad about this. Yes all we can do is to send prayers and good wishes to the family.💜
I did not know her but it is always sad to hear that our community lost a friend.
Yes it is and she was a lovely lady💜💜
So sorry, Willow 💖
It’s sad but mercifully for her she went within 2 days of us hearing if her illness.💜💜
That’s true, Willow! It comforts 💖
Yes true 💜💜
💖
Peace and love to her family. ❤
Yes indeed 💜💜💜
Reblogged this on Jordy’s Streamings and commented:

Yes this is so sad 💜💜💜
💕💕💕💕i am truly heartbroken.
Ohhh… may she rest in peace …she will be missed but her poetry will forever lives on.
Yes she has left a legacy for us all 💜
Such a beautiful soul. I feel she is with the angels now.
I do hope so 💜
This might seem weird to you but I was driving in my car yesterday when I suddenly thought of Helene and had a deep feeling the angels were with her. It felt like an answered prayer.
Dear Suzanne that does not sound weird at all. Sometimes a person’s spirit just might reach out and touch us. I am sure she is with the angels now, in peace and no pain.💜
❤
I’m very saddened to hear of this willow, she was a lovely lady and I enjoyed writing for her prompts.
It is very sad Michael, many of us will miss her 💜
I recall her saying her husband had died recently so as you say let’s hope she is safely with him now.
Yes, I hope she is it’s a nice thought 💜💜
She brought so many people together through her prompts and she always responded to everyone who posted. Such a wonderful, gentle soul. RIP Helene, we will miss you.
Yes we will indeed 💜 💜
Aaaaw, our lovely Helene! It was so lovely to be see her posts and comments. What a gorgeous lady!
Yes indeed she will be missed 💜
I had gone to her site recently and wondered what was going on – and while this makes sense, it’s way sadder than I had hoped! Wven though I didn’t know her well, it was easy to see she was a wonderful lady and a powerful writer. Thank you for sharing, Willow.
It is so sad, she was all those things you mention and more. She was also generous and brave. I hope she is reunited with her hubby now, he was ill for quite a while before he died earlier this year.💜
Oh My God, I just can’t believe it. She was such a comforting presence, came across as so warm, caring, and encouraging in the limited interactions I had with her through blogging. Praying for strength to her family….and yes, as you said, I’m sure she is reunited with her husband now.
Thank you for the lovely words, we can all pray for her family. I am sure her presence will stay on wordpress. She was all you said and more 💜💜
💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing the sad news. She’ll be missed. ❤
Yes indeed 💜
