I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.

I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.

I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.

I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.

I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.

I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.

Yes, I missed you so quietly today.

But I felt it so loudly.

Leap Day today - a powerful day for love. In some places any man refusing a woman's marriage proposal on this day has to buy her 12 pair of gloves! No need to suffer cold hands now you know that! 💕

There's no handbook for grief - no instruction manual. Everyone grieves in their own way and we are all different. There are many groups and individuals that can help - get in touch if you would like details.

At a recent vow renewal I carried out, the lovely couple chose a large container for their Sand Unity Ceremony. They wanted to involve the children and let them use lots of sand! They had so much fun. What a unique and personal keepsake to remind them of a wonderful day where they reaffirmed their love and commitment to each other and their family 💕

Dedicating a memorial bench to the memory of loved one is a lasting tribute. A personal ceremony with family and friends present makes this really special and a moment to share and remember. If you would like a chat about how I can help with this, please get in touch 💕
