Healing comes when we talk openly about those we have loved and lost. Sharing how much they would have loved to see their grandchildren grow up, celebrating all our successes. They can still be discussed and remembered through the fond memories, not just in sadness ❤️

Beautiful words from a true Salford hero Jane, who has always gone above and beyond in her role as CEO of Salford survivors project, who all do the most amazing work for families living in domestic abuse. As sad as I am that you are stepping down, I am so excited for the trauma recovery work you will be doing, as I know how much this is truly needed. So I wish you the best of luck in this new venture and to Kelly who will be stepping up.

Grief of a parent isn’t always a physical loss, sometimes it’s the loss of what you had needed from a parent. Especially when they didn’t feel safe.

When a parent was critical, dismissive, or emotionally unavailable, you don’t just grow up without comfort…You grow up without permission to need comfort.

So you become strong early.
You parent yourself (parentification)
You learn to swallow your feelings so you don’t become “too much.”

That ache you feel when other people have supportive parents is real. It’s not jealousy. It’s grief.
Recognising this is painful but also brings healing..

This really resonated for me as a parent of teens, I love to think of them being “under construction” of who they are going to be and the need to help guide them sensitively towards who they are to become.

Grief really does know how to send us on a rollercoaster of emotions.

It tries to rewrite the story in your brain, telling you there was more you could’ve said or done.
One more hug.
One more visit.
One more something.

But love really isn’t proven in a single moment or period of time. It’s proven in a lifetime of smaller ones.

The thoughtful gestures.
The laughter.
The fun times.
The sacrifices.
The little things.

You were there.
You loved them.
You did enough.

They died knowing how much you loved them from the many memories you created together over the years. There was nothing more you needed to do or say.

They knew ❤️

After what feels like continuous rain since Christmas, I can definitely relate to this. I’ve loved hearing the bird song and have enjoyed the sunny spells, even if they are very brief for now.
