We can never be fully prepared for when grief hits-searching for a contact in my phone I see ‘that one’ still there - I can’t bring myself to delete Discussing death, dying & bereavement BEFORE it happens helps to prepare. #DyingMattersAwarenessWeek@DyingMatters@LOROSHospice
The below is true, but I feel it shouldn’t be. I have been asked this week if I’m ok, & I’ve replied no. Not to make things awkward but to be honest, I’m not looking for sympathy or answers just the effort taken to put on that smile is sometimes too much. @DyingMatters
For 17 years I’ve been making joint birthday cakes, today no cake. It’s a painful reminder and a day we have been dreading. It should be a celebration. Happy 17th Harry. #griefishard#griefjourney
Our Peopercorns cafe are offering anyone 60 the opportunity to ‘sign up for soup’ starting tomorrow and running all the way until the end of February. Come along and enjoy some homemade soup and a warm welcome.@LOROSHospice#winterwarmer
3 months ago saying goodbye & remembering an amazing man. Watching back the live stream, this image was snapped. 2 sons & a wife remembering & grieving. Although a painful image, one I now love. It shows strength & protection in a moment of sadness. @DyingMatters#IRemember
Beautifully simple funeral planning document arrived from @ExitHereFuneral it really doesn’t matter what you write your plan on so long as you do BUT when it’s this stylish it really does help the motivation! @DyingMatters#dyingmatters#donewithstyle
Needing advice. Ideas for work experience placement for my yr 10 child, Interested in media/art/publishing/English. Important note, suffers with anxiety but really is trying to push herself to do it. so needs someone understanding. Thanks
The making of him has brought some light relief in the past few weeks and seem more fitting that I could have known choosing him 6weeks ago. #thorntonscarecrowfestival@paddingtonbear
2/2 As we mourn as a nation together, please check in on loved ones, friends, colleagues who have lost someone. Our grief is eased by love and support. If you are struggling please reach out. @samaritans@goodgrieftrust@dying_matters
1/2 I have learnt in the past 6 weeks that grief has no rules, no step by step guide book, no this is where you should be at this stage. It’s is a personal journey that can take you by surprise at any moment.
Patiently (not) waiting for 10am!! A few more cups of coffee needed. Good luck to all those waiting for GCSE results today. #anxiousmum#gcseresultsday2022
