For After I've Gone

09/01/2026

I recently watched Goodbye June with my Mum and my aunt — and we sobbed. Proper, heart-open sobbing.

It’s one of those films that doesn’t shy away from what it really looks like when death is no longer theoretical, but right there on your doorstep.
The different ways adult children face the impending death of a parent.
The tension. The love. The avoidance. The truth.
And the humour — because sometimes that’s the only way through.

Helen Mirren and Kate Winslet were phenomenal, using dark, disarming humour around death and dying — “Do you mind if I die?” — to soften moments that might otherwise feel unbearable.

What it really reinforced for me was this:
👉 The importance of having the hard conversations before crisis hits
👉 The importance of having an Advance Care Plan in place, so your loved ones know what you want — and aren’t left guessing at the hardest moment of their lives

These conversations aren’t morbid.
They’re an act of love.

This is exactly why For After I’ve Gone exists — to create a space for those words, wishes, and conversations to be written down gently, honestly, and in your own time.

Highly recommend watching Goodbye June.
Just don’t forget the tissues 🤍

The holidays can be beautiful and heartbreaking all at once when you're grieving.

If this is your first Christmas without someone you love, or your tenth, please know, there's no "right" way to get through it.

Maybe you'll light a candle in their memory.
Maybe you'll skip the big dinner.
Maybe you'll cry through carols that used to make you smile.
Maybe you'll feel okay one moment and completely undone the next.

All of it is valid.

All of it is part of the journey.
