Missing a loved one at Christmas 🫶🎄

Christmas is the time of year to spend cherished time with friends and family, but it can also be tough when someone you love is no longer with you.

We understand how many emotions Christmastime can stir up, so it’s important to be gentle and take care of yourself.

Allow space for memories, consider creating new traditions, share memories, and lean on support around you.

You’re not alone this season 🩷

How to write a heartfelt eulogy ✍️💕

Finding the right words to honour someone you love can feel overwhelming. A eulogy doesn’t need to be perfect, it simply needs to reflect the person they were, the moments you shared, and the love that continues.

Here are some gentle tips to help you begin:

💗 Gather memories - speak with family and friends to recall stories, milestones and little details.
💗 Choose a simple structure - an introduction, key memories, and a warm closing message.
💗 Focus on what made them unique - their personality, passions, quirks and qualities.
💗 Include things they loved - favourite places, hobbies, sayings, or rituals.
💗 Share meaningful stories - those moments that truly show who they were.
💗 End with love - a message of gratitude, memory or hope.

There’s no right or wrong way to write a eulogy… only your way.

Speak from the heart, and their story will shine through.

We would like to extend our congratulations to John Adams for his remarkable work in advocating for grief education in schools, which has now resulted in a parliamentary debate on this vital issue. 🏛️

We all understand the importance of preparing young people to cope with loss and navigate grief in healthy, supportive ways. John’s efforts to bring this topic to the forefront of education policy are a significant step toward ensuring that children and young people have access to the resources and understanding they need.

Please pop in and say hi, have a mince pie and place a star on our memory tree. We’ll be there from 4pm till 6pm.
