Everyone carries their own issues, but not everyone knows how to deal with them. Try to take a moment and understand that a person my have many battles they are facing. Approach each day and each interaction with an open heart to create an environment where people feel they can open up and feel understood.

It's been a week and a half and I feel numb. I feel like I should be crying and thinking about my dad more. I'm not sure if this is the drugs or natural.

I have a friend whose acquaintance, with distance and time, had become a once a year catch up at Christmas type friend. Today I learned the awful news that she was killed last year after a van hit her cycle.

I am devastated for her lovely husband and children. She was such a nice person.

Hold your loved ones close. Life can be so fragile.

Spending my morning journaling and doing grief exercises on hopes of feeling a little more grounded. One of those weeks I just haven't felt quite right, and my grief has been knocking me over at odd intervals.

Here's hoping this coming week will bring some more balance.

Therapy. Had a little cry about my dying dad, not enough to get rid of the headache or feel cathartic.

One quote always stuck with me after my husband's passing. My sons were taught over time that this was our new normal. So many occasions over the years I would have talked to him about life, I started a diary instead. #Bereavement #Grief #Life

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."

Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Every Boxing Day my sons would be with their dad, gave me chance to tidy. 10 years ago he was in hospital, they never did their Boxing Day thing again.
This year they're on a football stadium tour in Manchester. How times have changed.
Children grow, life continues.

It’s 5 years now since I made this illustration series, ‘Dementia Has Dad’. It’s a record of the horrid shock of the trivial and the boring bother that comes with taking a loved-one in to care. A well-ordered life suddenly out of order. The stuff nobody prepares you for. I share this again now because it still resonates with so many. And to honour my beloved lost Dad. To remember this.

"You don’t forget. It doesn’t go away. Time does not heal the wound, the wound is there..

And I think that that’s a recognition that a lot of grieving people have needed. That it’s OK, that despite the fact it’s been now however many years for Harry, he’s still grieving, he is still a bereaved child in some sense. He’s still a bereaved person and that wound and that pain doesn’t go away.”

Having only recently gained unfettered access to the 1921 Census, it's unsurprising but still very moving to see how many young people's entries included the words 'father dead'. On some days, it feels like almost all of them.
I still don't think we truly understand the emotional (& esp the repressed emotional) effects of this on politics & society. #FirstWorldWar #bereavement

Four weeks ago we lost our beautiful mum. After that Ruby made the journey north to be reunited with her brother Alfred making us a two dog household. Hoping having her here will help me 💔

I lead a 16 session workshop on Living Intentionally with Mortality because I believe our collective death denial and death anxiety stems from supremacist thinking and exacerbates our suffering profoundly.
