Have you thought about your celebration of life? What would you like it to be like?

Who has supported you?
Who has made the hard times a little easier?

I am an extremely lucky person in that the people who have shown me love are too numerous to list.
Thank you to you all! 🥰

Grief demands to be seen, you may think that you can bury it, but grief is stronger than that. Find a way to acknowledge it or it will find its own way to be acknowledged.

Do you think it would be easier if people knew that we were grieving? Do you think it might let others know to be gentle or would it garner unwanted attention?

Come to the Market on October 18th and join our Death and Remembrance Parlour.
Bring an open mind, an open heart and your curiosity!

We are both Death Doulas and love to create spaces where people can feel comfortable to talk and explore anything related to death and grief. Even if you’re not quite ready to chat about it, drop by and paint a rock that you can add to our Grief Garden or that you can take home.

We will also have a number of books that you can look through if you want to know how to approach the subjects with a young person.

Grief can catch you off guard which can be unsettling if you thought you were “over it”.

But grief isn’t something you get over, it’s something you learn to live with, something you share your life with.

Give yourself the grace that you would show others.

I love this poem by Sara Rian from “loving the gone” that reminds us that we never know what other people are going through.

The word ‘empty’ that appears 6 times through this poem, feels heavier with each time you read it.

“loving the gone” is another beautiful compilation of poems by Sara Rian that takes you to a place deep within her grief, a place that you might recognize yourself.

Since her mother died by su***de in 2018, she has written eight books of poetry that both tenderly share her grief and make room for the reader to see their own experiences mirrored in her words.

If you are looking for poems that make you feel ‘seen’, please think about picking one of these up.

In his book “Turning Toward Grief - Reflections on Life, Loss, and Appreciation”, James Crews takes the reader on a beautiful journey through grief, both his and theirs. One of the things I love about this book is that with each poem Crews gives not only insight into the writing of it, but an “invitation for writing & reflection” and in this way the book is turned into an interactive path to healing.

From the introduction...”If given a choice, none of us would invite grief into our lives, if it came knocking, asking to be let in. But grief does not give us any warning. Before we know it, some sudden loss is already in the house, begging for our attention, beside us at every moment. Now we have a choice. We can ignore the pain, which means it will show up anyway down the road, or we can turn toward it now and listen to what it will teach us.”

If you have a chance to purchase this book or to borrow it from the library, you will love the comfort it brings!
