Wakefield Cathedral — Attraction in Wakefield

Thanks Wakefield cathedral, i seem to keep visiting. Thanks to the kind lady who sat with me whilst i broke down cos i felt guilty for working at NHS and not being able to fix enough people re suicide, counselling, diseases, pets, problems, families, walking, talking, thing is i lit rows of candles, you brought me another box, i sat there with my head on my hands cos i couldnt cope with everyones problems and issues. I kept going back to light a candle, i blamed myself for everything, instead of loving myself. Thats what made me poorly, my head went, i realised i wasnt born to fix the world, i was just trying to do my best. Hope someone lights me a candle when its my turn. Thank you. You realise in life, tge people who matter and who are genuine and who are there. Thank you again...

Also the official guide is well written and illustrated and is a very interesting read -...
