If you’ve had a good weekend - maybe you smiled, laughed or just felt a bit more like yourself, please don’t be worrying that today has felt heavy again.

Good days don’t mean your grief is over and feeling exhausted after a good day doesn’t mean you’re going backwards. Joy and sorrow can sit side by side.

Healing can feel like progress one moment and fatigue the next. It’s all part of the thorny old path (as I always call it) we have to walk on our grief journey.

Be gentle with yourself. Be kind and forgiving and don’t forget to rest when you can. The good days don’t mean you’re forgetting your person, just as feeling shattered after a good day isn’t a punishment for being happy.

Remember that joy will be exhausting when your heart is still healing and your life is still weird without them. NMD X

Someone in their middle 60s with a spinal condition who can’t even get on the mushroom thing without help (Oscar, what a gentleman you are) and who wears the safety helmet back to front really shouldn’t have done this for fear of not being able to move much the next few days.

Another fabulous day hosted by Claire and Peter Hope. Thank you so much for inviting me again. It was lovely to, once more, meet up with Instone Memorials.

Austin's Funeral Directors
Harwood Park Crematorium

Thanks to Michael for sending on a photo of me having a moment on the drums! It was lovely to see everyone relaxed and enjoying themselves.

Every service needed (before, during, and after a funeral) requires expertise, knowledge and experience but needs its core to be rooted in empathy, compassion and a deep respect of people. This only truly works when we come together as one team, united by a shared sense of purpose and belonging, committed to serving our community at the darkest of times. X

When someone outstrips, surpasses, eclipses and completely outclasses your mah-na-mah-nas. The greatest reward in my facilitation of grief groups is seeing people get themselves back. 🙏♥️🙏
