After the loss of our mum, we have tried several times to find information online about people in similar situations – to feel less alone, to get advice, to know that life can continue after all of the trauma. We couldn’t find anyone. So, we decided that we would become those people for others through The Grief Reality.
I Don’t Fit Into That Box Anymore
You aren't your grief. You aren't what happens to you in this life, you are how you deal it. You won't always feel so small.
Bonfire Night 2019
For 2019, I had a different type of bonfire night. It was lovely, wholesome and warm.
Talking To The Month That Is Mine
I feel Mum’s love everywhere I go, and I am so fortunate to have known her for so long. So many people go through their life without the vibrancy and love she has instilled in us.
Life After Death?
Yes, and I am finally living it.
How Do You Evaluate Success?
Today, I feel successful. I woke up feeling energised, I woke up excited for my day. I made a very student lunch (chicken steak and barbecue sandwich), helped myself to a black coffee.
“You look taller”
It's been a slow transition but I wish I could tell my counsellor that I finally stepped down from that tightrope where I couldn’t put a foot wrong. I wish I could tell her that actually “Katie does make mistakes” but I can handle them – it’s okay.
The Luxury of Self
Mum would love these rainbows.
