Grace & Comfort

What does mindfulness actually mean? In grief we need to be present to our feelings associated with our loss/es. It is about paying attention to the pain I harbour within. It is about acknowledging the pain in the 'here and now'. It is about validating my loss, my feelings, my love and my grief.

Being mindful gives you the opportunity to explore and identify how you can best adapt to your new world. Remember to harness the people and rituals that enable you to console your grief. There is no 'one size fits all' model that will do this for you.

Interesting perspective..

I think it’s something a lot of us do without even realising.

The author of We Need to Talk reveals how she learned to help -- and not help -- a friend with loss.

For those of us who have lost our mothers and no longer have them on earth to shower with love and gifts on this special day, this day can be a mix of emotions.

No matter how young or old you were when your mother passed away, you feel like a lost child without her. It’s easy to focus on this loss on Mother’s Day (although you don’t miss her any more on this day than any other).

Every second she had with you was endlessly rewarding, and these moments didn’t vanish when she passed away. They were held lovingly in her heart, and are now forever treasured in yours as well. One day if not already, these wonderful moments may help to shape you into the parent she knew you would grow up to be.

Your Mum would still want to be remembered and celebrated on this day.

She worked hard every day that you had together to make this world the best that could possibly be. You can honour her by continuing to make the world a better place, and to live the happy life that she wants you to live.

The joy that being your mother gave her can never be put into words, the same way how much you miss her probably can’t be put into words either.

Maybe there are no words, just feelings, and memories and love. Just pictures and smells and beautiful moments that you will treasure always.

Happy Mother’s Day 🌸✨

How important it is to acknowledge all the mothers today who have lost a child or children and who are silently living with grief each and every day 💜🌸

With Mother’s day approaching next week it can bring on anxiety for those who have lost their mums. Celebrating days like these can be difficult and lonely for some and it’s important that we try and empathise and support those missing their mums. It’s also difficult for those who have fractured relationships with their mums so be kind and thoughtful and make the time to check in, get in touch or send a loving message of support 💜 you don’t need to understand you just need to really try and imagine how it may feel and give genuine and loving support 💜
