Yesterday was Grief Awareness Day in the UK and how apt that I couldn't bring myself to post because I was caught up in my own πŸ’›

Songs being played that I hadn't heard in yonks that reminded me of my dear Gran, though these made me smile more than anything πŸ₯° And I usually find a day or two after supporting families and leading their services I can feel heavy personally πŸ’›

I miss my Dad every day, I think of my Dad every day, but grief shows up every day differently.

Today we visited a special place of my Dads, I had a quiet moment in one of his spots (that my husband kindly captured) to have a word with myself, to let the wind blow away some of the feels but also to allow myself to stay in it for a while, which I dont often do!

So though a day late, remember that grief has no time line, no one gets to tell you how to navigate it, and you do what you need to do to get through, however its showing up for you today πŸ’›

Today I've had the honour of leading a celebration of life for a wonderful gentleman πŸ’›

He had chosen a direct cremation, but his loved ones gathered today to inter his ashes, with his dear mother and father, and ensured he had a fitting farewell πŸ’›

I am full of gratitude that his family trusted me with such an important role, and its been a privilege to learn all about the generous, honest and loyal man he was πŸ’› For them he was perfectly imperfect, and those imperfections made him the whole person he was, alongside all of his wonderful qualities that others knew of him.

I'd like to make a special mention to Jackie and team at Kingston Cemetery for their support and guidance and to Tammy and Kellie at Southern Cooperative Funeral, Fareham Branch, who showed such care πŸ’›

Rest easy Dolly Parton and thank you πŸ’› you filled the hearts of the world, with not just your lyrics and voice, but by being so much more.

As soon as I heard I immediately thought of my Dad, who bloody loved you πŸ₯° I was sharing with my boys and my husband about memories I have of us listening to your albums together.

So even in the sadness I'm grateful to you for giving me a chance to keep my Dads memory alive too.

I think its fair to say Dolly, that the world will always love you πŸ’›

Today, on National Rainbow Day, I honour the strength and resilience of families who have experienced the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, baby loss and infertility πŸ’›

If you're able to celebrate a rainbow baby, I hope they have given you hope, healing and light after the storm.

While these rainbows will never replace the babies who came before them, they are a powerful reminder that joy can exist alongside grief πŸ’›

Today let's celebrate rainbow babies and the incredible journeys of the families who love them...

Including mine 🌈🌈
