Three years ago today, I lost my dad. It was sudden, unexpected, and a devastating blow to myself, our family, and his friends. It’s important to remember that it's okay to lean on others when needed. Strength isn’t about doing everything alone; it’s about knowing when to reach out for help. Seeking support in tough moments is a reminder that resilience comes from asking for help, not from doing it all by yourself.
Grief is a deeply personal journey, and there’s no "right" or "wrong" way to go through it. With time, it does get easier, but healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding peace.
You must grieve in the way that feels right for you.
Grief doesn’t follow a set path and it's important to remember that everyone experiences it differently. There is no timeline, no rulebook—just the unique path you take toward healing.
Now, when I see a man with a big moustache, enjoy a pint of Guinness, nibble on a ginger nut biscuit, or witness someone driving incredibly slowly, I can’t help but smile, thinking of my dad with love and fondness.
Don’t let grief bury you. Let them live on through you, in the small moments that remind you of their spirit and love. 🤍🕊️
