Hey, I'm Mel

I have so many new faces that have found me.. I do have a pinned post on my page if you want to find out what I'm doing here 😂🤭

I wanted to share something a bit FUN

I'm Mel 👋🏽

I just turned 35 eek! 🥳

I love herbal teas - open to any recommendations of new ones to try ☕

I'm a proud boy mama to my two Sonshines 🩵💙

I love dancing and music, love a good ol' boogie 💃🏽

I'm pescatarian and have been for nearly 10 years 🐟

I call everyone lovely, I do remember names but that's always a back up 🥰

I love to have a good natter, I'll always take you round the houses when sharing a story, 3 min reels..sorry what?! 🗣️

And most importantly I'm Leighton & Jackie's daughter and so proud to be theirs ❤️

My page is sharing all things grief, life and everything in-between

Buckle up, there's a lot to get through!

Thank you for being here

Lots of loveeeee,

Mel ✨💖

Yep, I said it!

I'm saying it to acknowledge the people that are newly grieving

Another month without your loved one(s)

Spring is advertised as a time for "New Beginnings"

New animals being born
Flowers blooming
Sunny days
Celebrations
Get togethers
Lighter evenings

When you're grieving it can hurt that bit more when you're met with anniversary dates, birthdays, missed celebrations

With grief we don't move on, we don't get over it..

We wish there was a time machine where we could go back, back to time they were still here, with us 🤍

I see you 🫶🏽

Sending you so much love,

Mel 🦋🧡

Generational Trauma, Cycle breaking

This is something I started looking into and familiarising myself with over 6 years ago, later than I would have liked but we all have to start somewhere

I've never known what my mums upbringing or childhood was like and with my dad I've heard stories here and there but still a lot of unknowns which has been hard especially since becoming a mother

Unfortunately for me I was raised by someone that didn't know how to care or love a child and I think there was always this fear that I would follow learnt behaviour or patterns

That hasn't been the case fortunately BUT it has taken a lot of unpacking and deep diving

I have taken on wounds that were not mine, not even my parents and that's been tough

Parented by someone that was parented in a certain way that made them think it was acceptable

For example I was told as a child "It's not ok to cry, what are you crying for?!" " Stop with all that!"

I never had the safe, supportive environment to express my feelings or emotions, which led to a huge chunk of my life suppressing and bottling up, something I still have to work on

What I do now, I don't get it right, I make mistakes, I'm human but it's having the understanding that I can and I am doing things differently, my boys aren't being raised how I once was

They have the freedom to express themselves in a safe way

They have a voice

They can make choices

They can have autonomy of their bodies

They can say no

Does this mean I don't get triggered? Of course not, it's difficult at times but it's ok to do things differently

It's ok to say this ends with me

It's ok to be the one that changes the narrative within your family

Do the opposite

Be the change

❤️

Some days feel harder than others

Grief is so unpredictable

One day you can be feeling like you're doing ok

Other days you want to hide away and shut the world out ❌

Keep showing up for YOU in whatever way feels right for you

You matter ❤️

You're not here to please others by putting on a "brave" face

If you ever need a listening ear, I'm here, not to advise, not to tell you it's going to get better ( it won't) but to hold space for you and what you're carrying 🫂

Sending so much love your way,

Mel 🌸🩷

Just lately my posts have been slightly different, when I look back at some of my older ones, they're similar

I'm meant to share them, I'm not an expert and again I'm sharing my experiences and my own thoughts

First healing, then growth now fear

I've had a lot of fears

I fear the unknowns, the uncertainties, the unfamiliar

But what if on the other side of fear is belief

Belief in yourself

That you're capable

Many times people have asked how I've got to where I am, how I coped..

Honestly I don't have one definite answer, it's been a collective of things

I just know that I've got myself here, I've had to make decisions I've not wanted to make, with no telling which way they would go..

I've lost so much already, what could possibly go wrong

Does it mean it all works out? Not always

I just know we have this one, precious life

Do it scared, Do it anyway ❤️

Feel free to share your own experience in the comments? ⬇️

GROWTH ✨🌱💚

It's not about becoming someone new, it's about becoming who you were always meant to be

People, society, external & internal voices told me I was too much, not smart enough, my mouth would get me into trouble, I would end up in care ( future predictor..it happened) I would never amount to anything..just to name a few..

I'm proud of where I am & sometimes we forget how far we have come

Life isn't a race, what is meant for me, will come 💫

If you haven't heard it lately, I'm proud of you too my friend 🤗❤️

Lots of love,

Mel xx
