A Poem for World Poetry Day, suggested by Gill Wier

Sarah Corrigan has suggested this beautiful poem for World Poetry Day

For World Poetry Day we are sharing favourite poems suggested by our counsellors.
Chloe Hill has suggested "Weeping Willow by Emma Jane Rae.
Chloe says: I absolutely love this poem and fell in love with it watching the movie "My Girl" when I was only about 10.
... It's the first time I had ever watched anything so sad, my first brush as a child with death and grief.
I just think it's a beautiful poem about the loss of a child.

For National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, you may like to read this article (from a year ago) which questions some of the assumptions that the diet and weightloss industry make:
"Common wisdom says that obesity is associated with health risks, but the story isn't that simple. Studies on dieting rarely control for factors like fitness, activity, nutrient intake, weight cycling, or socioeconomic status. When they do? Increased risk of disease all but disappears."
