Dear Ricky Gervais,

1st August 20205th August 2020 ~ thegriefreality ~ 28 Comments

I’ve been there. No, not a widowed middle-aged man with an alcohol problem. But I’ve been at the point where life's unrelenting conveyor belt  is ushering you to keep moving forward but you are still frantically trying to scramble against time to stay close to the person you lost.

A Memory I Wish I Had

29th July 202025th July 2020 ~ thegriefreality ~ 33 Comments

The thought of coming home to you is tantalisingly strong. I would come home in my grey blazer, soaked to the bone from cold autumnal rain. I'd be grumpy. I'd see your head with your glasses perched on the end of your nose, your mind far away between the comfortable pages of your book. I'd … Continue reading A Memory I Wish I Had

The sun is still in the sky and shining above you. Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

This post is from my post ‘The Things That Make Life Beautiful’ ❤️
I know it seems that this pandemic will never end, particularly as it follows us into a new year. Please know that you are not alone in your struggle. Mum used to remind us that if it’s not okay then its not the end, and now more than ever, I trust my mum. 💕
Dear You, In case no one has told you recently, I am really proud of you. I am really proud of you for showing up every day and getting through 2020. You got through the festive period during a pandemic while holding your grief, and you are still standing. I am really proud of you, and I hope you take the time to reflect on all that you have been through this year. It is no small feat.

30 Days of Yoga; What I Learnt

30 Days of Yoga; What I Learnt

#4 Thursday Thoughts: When Was The Last Time You Cried?

We always feel so much better after a good cry. How about you?
