Honouring Bereaved Fathers with Gentle Presence and Care
International Bereaved Father's Day—held the Sunday before Father's Day—honours fathers who carry their children in their hearts rather than their arms. It offers space to acknowledge the deep love and quiet grief of those who have lost a child, no matter their age, or those who are unable to become fathers.

Here are 5 Tips for International Bereaved Father’s Day

1. Acknowledge their fatherhood
Even if their child is no longer physically here, they are still a father. A simple “I’m thinking of you as a dad today” honours their identity and keeps their bond visible.

2. Offer space for remembrance
Encourage a ritual, like lighting a candle, writing their child’s name, or spending time in a place that feels connected. These small acts can carry great meaning.

3. Use gentle language
Avoid clichés like “you’ll get over it.” Instead, words such as “I’m here if you’d like to share a memory” or “I’m holding you in my thoughts” can be more comforting.

4. Create community, not isolation
Some fathers grieve quietly or feel overlooked. Inviting them to a gathering, a walk, or simply sharing a cuppa helps them feel seen and supported.

5. Honour their way of grieving
Every father’s grief is unique. Some may want to talk openly; others may prefer quiet presence. Respect their pace and offer support in the way they are most comfortable receiving it.

We invite you to share their name.

Today is Grief Awareness Day – a day to honour the deeply personal, collective, and unique ways we navigate loss and grief.

Grief doesn't follow a prescribed timeline or path. It's woven into the fabric of love itself – a testament to the bonds we've shared and the lives that have interweaved with ours.

Grief is not something to "get over" – it's something to integrate.

Through ritual, ceremony, and intentional care, we create spaces where grief can be honoured. Whether through our supportive end-of-life services, the potent aesthetics and care within our ceremonial spaces, or our monthly grief circles, we believe in the power of intentional, collective and embodied experiences to support the living and honour the dead.

Even when relationships are complex – when love may feel difficult and entangled – grief deserves the same intentional space. Standing apart from loss can leave complex feelings unintegrated. Ritual and ceremony remain essential for you, even if the feeling of “love” is not clear and clean. These too are life rites for those with messy feelings and grief.

Your grief matters. Your love endures. Whatever that may look like.

For those who have walked this path with us, remember that our monthly grief circles continue to be a sanctuary for connection - held by our heart driven Skye and Jude, reach out for more info. For others seeking support, know that there are gentle hands ready to guide you through.

💙 How are you honouring your grief today?

Stay tender with yourselves and each other. Go gently.

Forever in Our Hearts

Anniversaries of our loved ones are heartfelt and challenging days
They arrive each year with a quiet weight,
settling gently yet unmistakably in the corners of our hearts.

It’s a day that can feel both unbearably heavy
and tenderly sacred,
a moment when the absence of someone we love
feels more real than ever.

Even if time has softened the sharp edges of grief,
the ache remains,
a gentle pulse reminding us of what was
and what still lives within us.

It’s okay to feel overwhelmed by the memories that come flooding back,
the laughter, the tender moments shared
that defined a lifetime.

It’s okay to let tears fall or to simply sit in silence,
holding space for the complicated feelings that anniversaries stir.

These days don’t just remind us of loss;
they also remind us of love’s enduring power.

The bond we shared doesn’t disappear with their absence.
It transforms, becoming a quiet presence
that walks alongside us, comforting and steady,
even in the hardest moments.

Though the world around us may carry on as usual,
our hearts slow down to honor what once was.

And in that honoring, we find a small measure of peace,
a reminder that love, even when wrapped in sorrow,
never truly leaves us.

It shapes who we are, guides us forward,
and gently holds us until the ache feels a little lighter again.
