We’re now sharing more of what we do over on Instagram!

There are so many small, meaningful moments in our work, often found in the little details, the light, sights and sounds, and the glorious places around us. It’s becoming a quieter space for reflection, remembrance, and the beauty of our local area.

We’re growing a gentle community there, sharing stories and moments that honour lives in a slightly different way.

If that feels like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to welcome you.😀 Follow along...

At Easter, we’re reminded that even after the darkest days, light returns.

For many, this season brings a sense of hope, renewal, and new beginnings. For others, it can gently highlight the space left by someone deeply loved, a quiet reminder of their absence at the table, in the garden, in the moments that once felt so ordinary.

If you are missing someone today, it’s okay if these days feels mixed. Hope can sit alongside sadness, gratitude alongside loneliness.

Wherever you find yourself this Easter, may you be held in kindness, surrounded by memory, and comforted by the love that never leaves us. And may there be moments, however small, where light and joy find their way in.

Thinking of you all this Easter Weekend.

Our office opens again on Tuesday, but we are always available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in case of bereavement.

With the clocks having moved forward and time shifts again from the darker months to longer spring and summer days, we’re reminded that time is not always felt in hours and minutes… Henry Van D**e reminds us that

Time Is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is not.

For anyone finding time too short you are not alone. Grief has its own rhythm, and love is eternal, memories endure, and precious time spent with our loved ones cannot be measured by the clock.

St Laudus Church, Mabe, rests quietly above Argal Reservoir, where time seems to slow. The ancient headstones, traced with lichen, stand among drifts of primroses that return each year with quiet certainty. Often wrapped in mist, the churchyard carries a calm, almost hushed beauty, one that feels deeply rooted in memory and place.

The venue of today’s funeral, we always seem to visit the church in mist!

Today our thoughts are with those whose arms are empty this Mothering Sunday, and especially with those whose hearts feel sorrowful.

There can be many emotions on a day like today, particularly when a mother or child is no longer here. Gratitude and gladness for their life and love may sit alongside tears and loneliness. All belong, and are part of loving someone who has died. Grief is a reflection of love, and remembering someone we cherish is a quiet way of keeping that love present.

If today feels heavy, please be gentle with yourself. It if helps, take time to recall a special memory, place a photo close by, create a small ritual, or simply take a moment of silence - know that your love for them continues to matter. There is still time to use our 'Letters to Heaven' postbox, and to light a virtual memorial candle for a loved one. Follow the link here: https://gbnf.online/308214

Love from all at team PFFD. ♥️
