It's really feeling like the 'blue' period of time again. Cleints report it and notice many others who seem to be disconnected, alone in some way, and downright SAD!

Be kind, to yourself - and of course anyone else who just may be battling or surrendering for now to great torment.

From myself, Bob Brotchie, and Dex, thank you all for your support once again this past year.

It's uncomfortable to believe it's not always or even mostly males who inflict abuse, but I read and research this topic daily and the figures are clear to see. No abuse is acceptable.

We need evidence-based policy not stereotypes.

Huge worry new VAWG strategy will only target boys, not boys AND girls.

BBC Report: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c246l4mdg3jo

This is against clear Youth Endowment Fund research last year that showed boys are more likely to suffer abuse from their female partners than the other way around. So why will the VAWG strategy ignore this? Jess Phillips / Alex Davies-Jones MP / Home Office / Ministry of Justice UK

And of course we need to urgently tackle boys/young men who commit domestic abuse against their female partners. But to target only boys and not girls too when there is such strong research is not evidence-based nor equality/inclusion-based.

Working with grief …

A poem and a ritual for grievers.

From my heart to yours...
In my work as an end-of-life doula, a hospice and palliative care nurse, and in my own journey of grieving, I have discovered the gentle power of ritual and ceremony. Poetry offers me comfort, simple rituals help me feel grounded, and when I share these practices, for myself and for others walking similar paths, I can see the quiet strength in being held. I offer these words to you as an invitation: take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and allow yourself to find the comfort that feels right for you.

The Memory Keeper

Grief sits beside me
but so does love
folded into the small corners of my memory
where your voice still hums
where your touch still lingers

I walk with both the ache and the gift of what remains
it is my memory of you that softens the sharp edges
that steadies me when silence feels too loud

I am the memory keeper…
the one who carries your light forward
and who lets your story breathe through mine
and in the holding of the memory
I am held too

A Reflection for the Memory Keeper:
Sit quietly and close your eyes.
Breathe in slowly, and let yourself feel the presence of the one you love.
Call to mind a single memory that makes you smile, or that feels like their essence.
Notice how it warms you, even through the ache of loss.

Whisper to yourself:
“I am the memory keeper. And in the holding of the memories, I am held too."

Allow yourself to stay in that moment for a few breaths, letting the memory both hold you and be held by you.
When grief rises, return here, always returning to the lantern of memory, soft against the dark.

Optional Ritual:
1. Light a candle and place a photo, flower, or object that reminds you of them nearby.
2. Read your mantra from the poem out loud, slowly, letting each line settle into you.
3. Close with a quiet intention: “I carry you forward in love, and I allow myself to be carried by it.”
4. Extinguish the candle if you wish, or leave it burning as a symbol of a memory held.

For many reading this, it will be a surprise.

New Office for National Statistics domestic abuse statistic show 1.5m men were a victim of domestic abuse in 24/25 - including 1.2m million from a current or ex partner. Men make up two in five of all victims. Far too many men and women.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/domesticabuseinenglandandwalesoverview/latest

The Government has pledged to halve the figures for men as well as women.

Interesting to see that more men than women said they were a victim of partner abuse from a current partner.

Men, fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, uncles, grandsons and cousins. Take a moment, catch your breath. 🙏
