A huge thank you to everyone who came out and joined us at The Good Mourning Café 💛 Your support, kindness, and presence truly mean the world to us.

We’d also like to extend our sincere thanks to The 19th Hole for hosting us and providing such a warm and welcoming space. It made the day even more special.

We’re so grateful to be part of such a supportive community — thank you for being there with us.

A warm summers day can feel very different when you’re carrying grief. The sunshine, the quiet, the cup in your hands- it doesn’t fix anything, but sometimes it gives you just enough space to sit with what’s heavy without it crushing you completely.

Grief has a way of clouding everything, even on the brightest days. But moments like that - where the world is still gentle, where you can pause and breathe- can feel like a small kind of comfort. Not a solution, just a soft place to rest for a while.

If it did lift the clouds even a little, that matters. And if it also brought memories, or a kind of ache alongside the warmth… that’s part of it too. You don’t have to push that away.

If you want to share, we’re here to listen.
We’re at Horsehay Golf Club on 22nd April 2026 from 10.30am - 12:30pm, pop in for a coffee and a chat x

Today marked something truly special — the very first gathering of The Good Mourning Café 💛

Set in the peaceful and beautiful surroundings of The Little Chapel, we came together as strangers and left with a shared sense of comfort, connection, and understanding. It was a safe, welcoming space where stories were gently shared, memories honoured, and no one had to feel alone in their grief. Over a simple cuppa, there was warmth, kindness, and quiet support in every corner of the room.

It takes courage to walk into something like this, and we are so grateful to everyone who came along and made it what it was — a space filled with compassion, empathy, and care.

Because of the heartfelt response and the clear need for a space like this, we are so pleased to say that The Good Mourning Café will now be held on a monthly basis 💫

Our next date will be confirmed soon, and we warmly welcome anyone who feels they may benefit from being part of this gentle, supportive community.

You are not alone 🤍

Easter can be a comforting time for some, and a painful reminder of loss for others. If you’re finding this season difficult, you’re not alone. 💜

Here are a few gentle ways to take care of yourself this Easter:
• Allow yourself to feel whatever comes up - there’s no right or wrong way to grieve.
• Mark the moment in your own way, whether that’s lighting a candle, visiting a special place, or quietly remembering.
• Take things at your own pace - it’s okay to change traditions or step back if you need to.
• Reach out for support if it feels helpful.

If you’d like to speak to someone outside your immediate circle, these organisations offer trusted support:
👉 Mind: https://www.mind.org.uk/
👉 Cruse Bereavement Support: https://www.cruse.org.uk/get-support/

From all of us at Newport and District Funeral Director’s we’re thinking of everyone in our community this Easter.

We're here to help you no matter how long you've been grieving. Learn more about our different bereavement support services here.
