Three months ago, I started the Facebook group "Tees Valley Grieving Hearts" during a time when I was at my lowest. I felt bitter and angry that the love of my life had passed away, feeling singled out and questioning why it had to happen. However, at our very first meet-up, I had the privilege of meeting some of the most amazing people who, like me, were broken-hearted over the loss of their loved ones. Together, we laughed, cried, and shared our stories.

One of these incredible individuals was Nicola, a widow and mother of three children who had also lost her husband to a brain tumor, similar to my partner. Nicola became one of my closest friends and a guardian angel who appeared in my life at a time when I believed I couldn't carry on due to the unbearable pain. We have supported each other throughout our grieving process, hoping that by standing together, we can find healing.

Nicola and I want to extend our support to others who may be feeling alone in their grief and bereavement. We are currently in the process of becoming a charity and are filled with excitement. We hope to connect with many more people who need us, offering our support from the beginning to the end, and even beyond, as we understand that grief does not have a time limit.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to be interviewed by the wonderful Gary from BBC Radio Tees. Our interview will be broadcast this morning between 10 am and 1 pm this afternoon.

We invite you to tune in and learn more about us, as we share our mission to provide support and comfort to those who need it.

What does a funeral celebrant do?
A celebrant will spend time with the family and friends of the person who died to help make the funeral personal. They can help you arrange the order of service then lead on the day, inviting people to speak and join in hymns or chosen songs. Celebrants usually officiate funerals being held in non-religious venues, such as crematoriums.
