Sometimes we just need a sign….Let this be your light 💙♥️

19/03/2026

Today we celebrated the life of a much loved individual. I could see by the reaction of those who gathered today how deeply loved and how terribly missed they will be.

Every aspect of the funeral arrangements reflected the thoughtfulness, care and attention to detail.. The flowers were phenomenal, each arrangement was a beautiful reflection of the love that surrounded them in life.

Though today was filled with sadness, it was also filled with love….. A reminder that the impact they made will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew them.

Today we said goodbye to Delia.

Delia was an only child who was born and adopted in 1938. From uncertain beginnings she built a life filled with family, friendship and laughter.

Delia was a devoted mum, a proud mother-in-law and a deeply loving grandma. She was also a loyal friend, a respected teacher and a woman who never stopped embracing life. It was a privilege to listen to the many stories of her well lived life and to help share those memories today with the people who meant so much to her.

Although Alzheimer’s slowly took parts of Delia’s memory, it never took away the essence of who she was….. that strong, independent, warm and spirited woman that so many people knew and loved.
💖🙏🏻💙

Today we said goodbye to Nora
A selfless sister, a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother, great- grandmother and great-great-grandmother.

Nora had a remarkable gift: she opened not only her home but her heart to care for those she loved.

In her working life, Nora was a phenomenal seamstress. She created beautiful clothes that went on to be sold on the high street.

Beyond everything else, Nora’s greatest passion was her family. They were her world. She gave her time, her energy and her love to those who needed her most.
Nora cared for her grandchildren and later with deep devotion, she unconditionally supported her husband as he lived with Alzheimer’s.

Today she leaves behind a space that cannot be filled….. a huge void in the hearts and homes of all who knew and loved her. But alongside that loss, she leaves a legacy of care, strength and love. 💙🙏🏻💖

Last week we created Mother’s Day gifts together. 💗🥰💖

For those whose mummies are still very much present in their lives, we chatted about their connections with their mums and the special things they enjoy doing together.

For those whose mummies are no longer in their lives, we talked about how different Mother’s Day might feel for them this Sunday. Whether celebrating the day would feel right for them, or whether it might be something they would rather gently avoid. 💙🙏🏻💗

Some children chose to make gifts for their mummy, while others chose to make a gift for themselves.

Loving ourselves on a significant day like this can be incredibly important. Love and loss were both present in equal measure during our conversations this week. 💛🥰

It was lovely seeing Dave last week from Elegant Carriages

His professional team and stunning horses always bring such a dignified and beautiful touch to a funeral service. Their care and attention to detail never go unnoticed. 🐎 💒 ❤️🙏🏻💙

Yesterday we said goodbye to Terry.

He had an incredibly strong work ethic and always went above and beyond to provide for his two children. Terry wasn’t just a dad… he was the true essence of a father: always there, constant, dependable, offering unconditional love and devotion.

Terry loved to travel and particularly enjoyed his holidays to Thailand where he explored different areas, capturing photographs of the temples, the tigers and the elephants. These adventures meant a great deal to him and when he returned home, he would lovingly share his experiences with his mum; someone he spoke to every single day. Terry was a truly devoted son.

He also had a fun and vibrant side. Terry loved to sing karaoke and had a real fascination with Vampires Rock and burlesque dancing. He had pockets of friends in different places and today those friends all came together to pay their respects.
Their presence is a testament to the respect and affection so many people had for Terry…. a well-respected young man who will be deeply missed.

This week our sessions focused on self-love…. learning to respect our boundaries and recognising the many wonderful qualities that make you… beautifully YOU. 💗💙🙏🏻

We spent time decorating hearts as a creative and meaningful reminder of just how special and unique each of us are.
Every heart reflected individuality, strengths and the importance of treating ourselves with kindness. (Something we often forget to do)

We also explored dreams…. including night terrors and discovered how we can use our superhero to change the narrative. By reimagining frightening moments, we practiced taking back control and building confidence, inner strength and safety.

Crystals became a powerful and tangible tool during our sessions too. Something to hold onto in moments of positive prayer, calm and reassurance. They served as a physical reminder of safety, hope and inner peace.

And of course… fidget toys! A wonderful bag of sensory distraction that supported us as we recapped emotions, explored thoughts and gently looked ahead to our future vision.

Through play and reflection, we strengthened our understanding of how we feel, what we think and who we are becoming.✨

Today we said goodbye to a very private man.

He meant so many different things to so many different people.

He was strong, stubborn, funny, talented and completely devoted to his family. He built things, he fixed things and he loved deeply…. even if that love was sometimes hidden behind a layer of sarcasm.

He was happiest when he was fixing something with his hands or sitting out in the sunshine in his garden hut…. his own quiet little corner of the world. He treasured time away with his family, taking as many holidays as possible: by the beach, or surrounded by woodlands and forests.

He leaves behind countless memories and will never be forgotten. 💙🙏🏻

Today we said goodbye to John…
Fondly known to many as “Freezer John.”

John was a devoted dad and a proud grandad. His family meant everything to him. He loved nothing more than spending time on the beach, creating precious memories that were so lovingly recalled during today’s service.

After leaving school, John worked for a short time as an electrician. He later put those skills to good use by setting up his own business, SRS – Sellers Refrigeration Services. Through dedication, hard work and determination, he built a well-respected business that stood as a testament to his strong work ethic and commitment.

John leaves behind a legacy of love, treasured memories, lasting impressions and the example of a life lived with dedication to both family and work.

John will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Today we said goodbye to Vera.

A devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Family was truly at the heart of everything she did and her love for them was constant, unconditional and deeply felt by everyone.

From a very young age, Vera formed an especially strong bond with her father after the heartbreaking loss of her mother when she was just two years old. She then faced another profound sorrow when her father died at the young age of 35: A soldier who lost his life while fighting for his country.

After this, Vera was tenderly cared for by her aunt, whose love helped guide her through those difficult years. The close relationship she shared with her cousins remained throughout her life, they were more like the unbreakable bond of siblings than extended family.

Vera also cherished her friendships. She was an active and much-loved member of several community groups, enjoying card games, walking and even trips abroad with those she held dear.

Vera lived a long and full life, reaching the remarkable age of 92, she leaves behind a legacy of strength, resilience and deep love for family and friends. 💖🙏🏻💙

In our counselling sessions today we explored emotions: sadness, happiness and anger….
And how these feelings can show up when we don’t know how to acknowledge them or share them with others.

We expressed these emotions creatively by painting stones, giving each feeling colour, shape and space to be seen. We also spent time learning about mindfulness.

Everyone loves a good rainbow 🌈 The rainbow breathing exercise is always a favourite. Maybe it’s the bright colours, or perhaps it’s the sense of hope and good luck that rainbows bring?

We also practised finger breathing, 🤚🏻 a simple technique we can use anywhere. Just trace the outline of your fingers, breathing in as you move up each curve and breathing out as you move down. A small, calming tool to carry with you wherever you go. ❤️🙏🏻💙🌈
