Oh dear what a Christmas - I was blue lighted into hospital last Sunday and spent all of the holiday in hospital. Today (Sat 29th) I have been allowed out for a couple of days as I won’t be having my operation until next week. It is wonderful to see family and friends.
The holiday season […]
In the UK there was a helicopter crash this week which was returning fathers home to their children for Christmas. How heartbreaking the story is, with children waiting for Dad to come home so they could celebrate Christmas…my heart goes out to the families. One quote referred to 2 boys who ” broke their hearts”
I […]
My mum, who has done so well since losing her husband - my wonderful dad, has not been well this week. Headaches, tiredness etc Although it may be a virus, I believe that it the time of the year, she misses him and this causes her sadness. She wants him here with the family, a family […]
I posted this week about launching a weekly podcast to share stories with everyone and asking for listeners for stories. I was delighted to receive this from Tiffany and wanted to share it with you all….
I read of a man, who stood to speak at the funeral for a friend;

When you are coping with the death of a loved one, you are often faced with constant jobs to be performed, constant visits from family and friends. I have found that it is also important to find time for your own self reflection…as it comes to the end of the year, sit down and reflect […]
A great idea that my friend told me about……find or print some photo’s of your loved one, then make them into a bauble with slits…that way they are remembered at such a family time of the year. I love this idea as I have chosen photo’s of him smiling, laughing at previous family Xmas gatherings. […]
As you get a job and have children your life gets busy….you don’t mean to not spend time with your friends and family but sometimes it is hard to fit everything in. When my dad died, one of the positives was how it brought us closer together. We invest more time as a family, ensuring that […]
Wanted to show you all this poem sent in by a reader of the blog….thanks Tiffany for sharing it with us.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the […]
One of my friends who lost her husband spent last night wrapping presents with her children for their dad. This weekend they will visit his grave and put the presents there…they will smile, they will remember the “daft” things he did, they will wish him a happy holiday. THe children enjoy the chance to show […]
I went to see my Nana yesterday…a thriving 96 year old who I love very much..she is so precious to me, I dread the day I can’t see her smile, I can’t hear her humour, I can’t feel her hug.
I asked her what she was hoping that Santa would bring her…she looked at me […]
