My Family Caring for and Supporting Your Family ๐ŸŽฉ Now able to also cover Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk.

For over 37 years I have supported the communities of Waltham Forest and the surrounding areas of Buckhurst Hill, Loughton, Chigwell, Woodford and Waltham Abbey. In October of 2021, I set-up my own business, offering a Bespoke Personal Service from the comfort and familiar surroundings of your own home when having to make arrangements for a Loved Ones Celebration of Life Farewell. With Funeral Ser

vices starting from the Simple yet Dignified Direct Cremation ( Non-Attending ) for those who want no service or family members and friends present, to the Traditions of the Victorian Horsedrawn Carriage or Rolls-Royce Hearse. Each Funeral as Unique and Special as Your Loved One which is tailored to your wishes, with Compassion, Sympathy, Respect and Dignity. In May of 2022 I trained and became a Celebrant Funeral Minister and as such I am able to support the families I care for and My Fellow Funeral Directors in Honouring Life's Memories. At The start of this year, I decided to expand into owning Limousines so I am now also a Carriage Master offering not just the first Limousine to the families I support, but also I am able to offer trade hire support to again my Fellow Funeral Directors. The Limousines are also available for Weddings and associated services.

โœจ V1 had her new Alloys fitted today for the summer months and also had a full Lazer Alignment carried out. This gives me the opportunity to have the Winter Alloys totally refurbished after receiving a couple of minor scuffs which I feel is not acceptable โœจ

๐Ÿ’ Several weeks ago I added a post being able to offer families I'm Privileged to Support and Care for different options for either a Traditional or Woodland Burial and Cremation.

๐Ÿ’ From this, two families chose these for their loved ones final journeys. Photo 1 shows the beautiful Light Wicker Oval Coffin which was used for a Traditional Celebration of Life Cremation Service, whilst the equally beautiful Traditional Shape Chestnut Willow Coffin was chosen for a Woodland Burial Service with a blend of Christian and Spiritual Service of Celebration of Life.

๐Ÿ’ Whether you decide on a Traditional Cremation or Burial Service or Woodland Cremation or Burial Service, the choice of coffin or casket is YOUR CHOICE. I'm here to guide and support you through making the arrangements for your loved ones final journeys in the way you wish.

๐Ÿ’ If you would like further advice or information about these or other options available, please feel free to send me a message or give me a call.

Everything changes after the loss of a spouse.

This was the person you spent most of your time with. This is who you made your plans with. The one who shared your worries.

Every part of your past, present, and future revolved around this person, and to be without them is really hard and lonely.

The people you spend time with donโ€™t always seem to recognize the depth of your loss. This can be felt any time someone tries to cheer you up, smooth it over, or make it better. They mean well, but it doesn't really help.

I wish people would understand that itโ€™s a couples world, and socializing after the loss of a spouse is never the same.

The problem isnโ€™t just you who might feel awkward in a setting that's mostly couples. Your friends might hesitate (or all out avoid) inviting you along for fear that you'll feel out of place.

And nothing feels worse than that!

Here's the thing...when you loss your spouse it's like being half of a pair of scissors.

It's a feeling that not only is your other half missing, but you feel incomplete. So you're not only missing your spouse, but youโ€™re also missing yourself too.

(Try cutting something with only half a pair of scissors!)

Every part of your day and routine is changed and altered, especially when itโ€™s time to go to sleep. So you can't even escape it at night.

โ€œDo I stay on my side of the bed, or do I move to the middle?โ€

โ€œEven with the lights out and my eyes closed I can still feel the emptiness of the bed.โ€

โ€œHow strange it feels to go to bed without having someone to say goodnight to, ending the day without a goodnight feels like leaving a period off a sentence.โ€

This loss creates a vacancy in all the roles a very important person use to fill, and no else is going to be able to take the place of all the roles just like your spouse did.

And lying underneath the sadness and yearning for what you had is the realization of the blessings that your time together created.

But even that doesn't make you miss them any less.
