The family have asked us to share the funeral arrangements of Jimmy Thompson.

15/03/2026

After the funeral,

when the flowers
have faded

and the visitors
have gone home,

that’s when
the quiet begins.

The house
feels different.

The chair
they used to sit in
feels empty.

People think
the hardest day
was the goodbye.

But sometimes

the hardest days
come later.

Weeks later.

Months later.

Years later.

Because grief
doesn’t follow
a schedule.

It simply
walks beside you,

showing up
in memories,
in silence,

and in the moments
you wish
you could share
with them.

And in those moments,

what a grieving heart
needs most

is not explanations,

not advice,

but someone
who stays

and understands

that love
doesn’t end

just because
a life did. 🤍
