    Having a rough time at the moment… Matt’s second anniversary is just a few days away on 26th and I feel stuck! Last year I expected that once I’d experienced all those firsts then I’d be able to start getting a handle on my grief, but this journey is longer, more challenging and painful than I’d imagined. I would like to remember him with a…[Read more]

    • Loss/Giref=so much more pain than one could imagine;
      The time and the hurt makes minutes feel like centuries. Our kind of loss is a tattoo on the heart.

    “To where you are”

    Who can say for certain
    Maybe you’re still here
    I feel you all around me
    Your memories so clear

    Deep in the stillness
    I can hear you speak
    You’re still an inspiration
    Can it be
    That you are mine
    Forever love
    And you are watching over me from up above

    Fly me up to where you are
    Beyond the distant star
    I wish upon…[Read more]

    I’ll be thinking of you… I know how hard it can be as I’m apporaching my brothers 2nd anniversary.

Birthdays/holidays are all so pointless now yet others expect you to be enjoying these special days. How can we celebrate without them, it just can’t be the same, any happy moment is always tinged with the bitter-sweet regret of what…[Read more]
