    We’ve Got Through The First Week of School

    16th September 2016

    So the first school week is over and all I can say is…phew! There’s been such a build up to this week for months; – preparing Chunk for leaving nursery and moving to a big school, and of course buying the dreaded uniform and accessories. He loved the first day, because only 8 pupils were…

    Preparing Chunk For School

    9th August 2016

    Chunk starts school next month…EEK! I’m a bag of mixed emotions about it at the moment, both excited for him (and to get some me-time/work-time) but also very aware this is a new milestone and once he’s in there I cannot protect him or see what he’s up to for five days per week. Regardless…

💔Openly grieving my Partner & Mum

12 weeks without you and its not getting any easie 12 weeks without you and its not getting any easier as some people assume. 
Instead it's tougher, because it's been longer since ive heard your voice, felt your cuddles and had your love.
This pain will never fade, but one day I hope i will be able to carry it easier. 
You Will always be my soulmate, people as gentle, intelligent and kind as you are such rare precious gems to find.
Thank you for choosing me ❤️

Its been 10 weeks since i lost my soulmate (my son Its been 10 weeks since i lost my soulmate (my son's stepdad) and 12 weeks since i lost my mum.

I took my son and dog to our local beach yesterday and we attempted an ancient ritual that is thought to be helpful for the body and mind to process trauma and grief.

I tried first (cried throughout) and found it incredibly powerful when I threw the stones. I did feel a release that crying alone doesnt give. 

I gave my son some space to try if he wanted and he managed a couple of stones. 

He then did some stone sea skimming like old times and I treated him to a maccy ds for giving it a try.

It certainly took it out of me mentally as I needed a small afternoon nap, which just shows how grief exhausts and consumes the body.

Have you tried any techniques to help with grief?
