    Father’s & Caregivers Day Gift Guide 2021

    12th May 2021

    This year Father’s Day is 20th June 2021, one day before we are apparently given our freedom in the UK! I recently posted about buying presents for your co-parent, as I find letting my son search gift sites online as an easy way to do this.

    Helping Your Child Buy Gifts for their Other Parent with Find Me A Gift

    29th April 2021

    As a single parent celebrating days for the other parent is very different compared to two-parent families. I’ve had a mixture of experiences in the nine years of my son’s life. The early years his father wasn’t in the picture for various reasons, so Father’s Day wasn’t something we celebrated initially.

    23rd May 2016

    Father’s Day is fast approaching (June 19) so I’ve been hunting for ideas for my son’s dad. For other celebrations such as Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day I’ve tended to use Snapfish for gifts because they do a great range of personalised presents. This year I decided to make his dad a personalised Father’s Day…

    Father’s Day Gift and Craft Ideas (#TruprintDads)

    3rd June 2015

    As you know Chunk has not had contact with his father for 15 months now so Father’s Day is something we only celebrate with his grandfather. I prefer mother and father days to feature gifts that take a lot of thought and effort rather than money, as these are the things that become precious and…

I talked to people about my fears of him going now I talked to people about my fears of him going nowhere and never seeing him again,  and many more detailed questions, then later that day I asked for a sign via song and this song came on shuffle play as soon as i asked. The lyrics answer everything I asked. Was it stuart? #grievingwidow #griefjourney #grieveoutloud

Sitting in barbers with my son and suddenly had fl Sitting in barbers with my son and suddenly had flashback to last time we were here in August the day before my mum's funeral. 

I was a shaky mess having just lost my partner who was supposed to be at her funeral with me, and i was silently crying and having a shaking panic attack in a crowded barbers. 

A few weeks later im here again but been able to converse with barber and sit without panicking. 

Small progress is being made and I didnt register that until now.

Anyone else dealing with such huge loss, please remember, take it day by day, hour by hour and try to check in with yourself sometimes to see the progress you've made, because its so easy to miss the tiny achievements amidst the grief.
