All Souls Day is a special time in the Catholic tradition to remember and pray for our loved ones who have passed away, offering hope and comfort as we honour their memory.

If you would like to join, the outdoor Mass will be held at 5pm, followed by light refreshments. Everyone is welcome to come together in prayer and reflection.

Grief is one of life’s hardest journeys, but it’s also a path where hope can quietly grow. 🌱✨

In A Grief Observed, C.S. Lewis shares his honest and heartfelt reflections after losing his wife. This beautiful book reminds us that grief is not just pain—it’s also love, memory, and the beginning of healing. 📖💞

Lewis’s words offer comfort and companionship to anyone facing loss, showing that even in the darkest moments, there is light to be found. 🕯️🌟 It’s a gentle reminder that moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting, but learning to carry love in new ways. 🌈

If you or someone you know is walking through grief, this book may bring peace and understanding to your heart. 🤗💬 Have you discovered comfort in its pages?

Week 42: Attend a community event or class to meet new people.

When someone we love dies, it’s natural to withdraw from the world for a while. But as time passes, re-entering the community can help restore a sense of belonging and hope. 🌱

This week, we invite you to take a gentle step forward—attend a local event, join a class, or try a group activity that interests you. Whether it’s an art workshop, a walking group, or a community choir, finding connection through shared experiences can open new pathways to healing.

Week 41: Try journaling about your hopes and dreams for the future.

When you’re grieving, it can feel like life stands still. The future may seem uncertain or even unimaginable. But gentle reflection and writing can help you reconnect with the part of yourself that still hopes, still dreams.

This week, take a few quiet moments to write about what you’d like your future to hold — big or small. It might be something as simple as finding a moment of peace each day, planning a trip, or learning something new.

There are no right or wrong words — just your heart, your pen, and a willingness to look forward, even in small ways.

✨ What is one hope you’d like to hold onto for the future?

This October, we’re shining a compassionate light on a hidden part of grief — hoarding. Holding on to belongings after losing someone can be a deeply personal way of keeping their memory alive, but sometimes it becomes overwhelming. Our latest blog, "When Memories Become Clutter: Understanding Hoarding and Grief," offers gentle guidance and support for families navigating this tender journey.

If you or a loved one are struggling to let go, know you’re not alone.

Let’s walk together from holding on tightly to holding memories gently. 💙

As you continue your grief journey, this week invites you to honour the love that still endures. Keeping a loved one’s legacy alive can be both healing and deeply personal — a way to celebrate who they were and the impact they continue to have. 💫

You might:
🌸 Create a memory garden or dedicate a corner of your home to photos and keepsakes.
🕯️ Share their stories with younger family members or friends who never had the chance to know them.
📖 Support a cause they cared about, or start a small project in their name.
🎨 Bring their passions to life — cook their favourite meal, play their favourite song, or continue a tradition they cherished.

Your grief transforms into legacy when love finds new ways to live on. ❤️

Week 39: Practice saying "no" to commitments that feel overwhelming.

Grief can make even the simplest commitments feel overwhelming. It’s okay to protect your energy by saying no when something doesn’t feel right for you.

This week, give yourself permission to step back from obligations that feel too heavy. Saying no is not selfish—it’s an act of self-care and a way of honouring your healing journey.

Remember, you are allowed to rest. You are allowed to create space for your grief. 💜

🌿 𝐀 𝐏𝐨𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🌿

At Willow Tree Funerals, we understand how powerful words can be in bringing comfort, hope, and peace during times of grief. Poetry has a way of expressing what the heart feels but cannot always say.

Today, we’d like to share this beautiful funeral poem, chosen for its gentle reminder of love, memory, and connection:

📖Remember - Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

May these words bring solace to those remembering their loved ones, and may they serve as a gentle reminder that love endures beyond time.

💜 If you have a favourite poem, verse, or memory that has helped you in times of loss, we invite you to share it below.

With care,
Willow Tree Funerals 🌸

Week 38: Create a photo album or digital slideshow of happy memories.

Photos have a way of holding pieces of our hearts. They remind us of laughter, milestones, everyday moments, and the love that continues even after loss.

This week, we invite you to gather photos and create a special album—or even a digital slideshow—that celebrates the life of your loved one. It could be something you keep for yourself, share with family, or even play during special remembrance days.

Looking back on happy memories can bring both tears and smiles, but each picture is a reminder that their story—and the love you shared—lives on. 💜
