Living With Life wants to empower people to make the most of precious moments in life and journey li

Living With Life is a new project started up to help people deal with the grieving process of life’s not so happy moments. Celebrating someone’s life while they are still here with us, communicating the feelings that need to be shared and ultimately making the most of the precious last moments of someone’s life.
• Has your life been impacted by one of your friends or family being diagnosed with Cancer or another terminal illness?
• Have you experienced the ripple effect that the diagnosis can bring on everyone around?
• Have you sat and watched helplessly as loved ones suffer? Did they make it through?
• Are your family and friends still battling with depression, anxiety, grief, regret?
• Did the whole situation break down any relationships within your family or friends?
• Do you feel you said goodbye well and made the most of the last few precious moments? These are all questions that arose and aspects that I personally experienced within my whole family, on numerous occasions – I’ve seen and felt the devastating affect this kind of diagnosis can have on the whole family first-hand and whilst I don’t have any medical skills, I have been desperate to make a difference in people’s lives; to inspire, to enrich and to bring some form of relief and lightness at what is such a horrific time. Our new project, Living With Life, was born from the desire to make a difference. Why wait until someone has passed away, to fill their Facebook and Twitter and other social media pages with eulogies? Why waste precious time arguing, being resentful, bitter or angry at what life has so cruelly dealt you? The truth is, there is nothing we can do to change the horrific circumstances of these situations but we can change how families work through them. With the help of trained professionals, we strive to help all the members affected, through the different stages of the grieving process, such as denial and anger. We take them to a place where they can enjoy the precious last days, months or even years; bringing an appreciation for each priceless moment and making the most of every last memory - ultimately being able to say goodbye well! We believe this is important for both the patient suffering and also for the wider circle of family and friends. Living With Life works with all kinds of people from all walks of life, dealing with all kinds of issues – to encourage them and help them Live Life to the max, making the most of each precious moment before it’s too late! How to get involved
Currently, Living With Life is a project running under the Smiths Academy umbrella company – a pilot program is underway to learn what best works overall and how to take the project forward. Once the pilot phase has been completed, Living With Life will be registered as a charity. We are currently looking for people who have had experience of this type of grief to be part of our case studies. If you would like to be part of our current pilot project we would love to hear from you. Any financial contributions are much appreciated and welcomed
If you feel you can contribute and help in any way please contact us.

SUPER THANKFUL … 🎵 “for it all!”

Well, maybe not that I am officially another year older 🙈😂 But definitely for the privilege of having had another year to live life, with such fabulous friends and family; to deepen in my faith and survive the many trials that have been this past year - but mostly so, I’M THANKFUL that I’m STARTING TO SEE COLOUR AGAIN … ❤️💐

This year, I’ve been overwhelmed by the gifts of flowers; bunch after bunch, I started to see, different colours, different shapes, different smells and textures, different types … COLOUR! It feels SO long since I truly saw my in life colour; I’m not even sure when it happened, but thanks to the 💐 this birthday I noticed it! ❤️🙌🏻

SO thankful for all that is my life, for the lessons learnt, the pain, the joy, the heartache and the blessings; the losses and the gains … as the song says “for it all!!”

Here’s to the year ahead … to THRIVING not just surviving. To taking time to enjoy the colour!! ❤️🙌🏻

Was sent this, this morning by ; he and “his Sylvie” shared the most precious love, the greatest of loves … and as he so beautifully describes it, “the greater the love, the greater the grief!”

Grief is never comparative, as nor is your capacity to love - but rather relative, necessary and significant! A timely reminder of something we’ve long believed:

“Grief is the price we pay of having loved and lost!”

Grief has many faces, many layers and many memories and emotions … we pray that if you find yourself grieving today; that you will know true peace that surpasses all understanding and that the pain will morph into comfort of having been blessed to have loved and time shared together.

Life is short, time is priceless; spend it well.

Our founder, shared her life story, of how her lived life’s experiences and challenges; coincided with her faith, that led her to launch Living With Life. Of how even ‘living with her own life’ currently comes with day to day battles, but one she believes necessary for all that’s to come … (link in bio)

Thankful ❤️

There are seasons in life, where a choice has to be made to posture your heart, your mind, your soul … “the more you look, the more you see!”

Do you ever have days, where life just feels too heavy to carry?
What do you turn to?
What’s your self care plan?

It’s a strange thing returning to teaching - we’ve been doing all about emotional well-being and self care. Leaving the class room today, I felt challenged … this past week has been really hard mentally and physically - exhausted, weary - I was left pondering … when did I last take some ‘self care time?’
What is my self care strategy?
Are they healthy things to turn to?

Thankfully today my answer has been yes - devotion and journal time, music and a good 1mile swim in a decent 49minutes, followed by a soak in the whirlpool bath. Ended with a good cup of peppermint tea in my favourite mug.❤️🥰

Successfully reset and rebalanced!!

When did you last take some self care timeout? What’s your favourite (healthy) things to do? What can you do to make some space this weekend for you?

Be kind to yourself, there’s only one of you!! You are worth it!!!

THE JOY OF HAVING A LOVE WORTH GRIEVING FOR … (but a whole year of missing you)!

A whole year ago today … the day we had dreaded for precious years savoured with you came, the fight, you fought so diligently to the very end to stay here with us; came to its end and your time arrived, to pass up to the waiting arms of Jesus, in Heaven.

A whole year on today … and in many ways it feels more painful today than that day; because that day I was with you, you where with us … it was like you just stepped out the room and we’ve been waiting here ever since for you to come back in … There’s not a day goes past, where I don’t look for you over the fence. A ‘you shaped’ hole no one else can fill …

Did you realise how much you’d be missed? How our hearts would ache beyond words? Did you know how much we love you? I hope so!

Reminded as always - thankful for the opportunity of having had a love worth grieving for!! But also, to never take for granted the fragility of this precious life and those you love, in it!!
