Valentines day can be a hard time for those who have lost a loved one and yet when Love and grief come face to face Love wins every time because grief is the price we pay for love.#lovewins #death #life

@UndertakingPC I'd say more folks are spiritual since covid but that's maybe a UK thing

@UndertakingPC Yes it is, and as I start a eulogy it can invoke emotions and all manner of reactions. Genuinely had a daughter turn up to her dad's funeral just to make sure he had died

Lasting Power of Attorney current processing time remains 20-21 weeks. Can't overstate importance of having documents in place before they're needed rather than wait for a crisis.

Grief is sacred - no two people travel through it the same, each one on a slightly different path, whatever it looks like its liquid love streaming through. #funerals #derby

So good to celebrate at the Cathedral recently, what an incredible legacy The Queen has made in all of her years of reigning. I'll be celebrating this weekend with a street party honouring all she has accomplished.

Seize the day, do all that you dream of doing. So often I hear stories of what people wanted to do and never quite got round to- I'm learning more and more to embrace the moments and enjoy the season I'm in. #funerals #life #derby

This - “Ironically, sometimes heaven happens when we’re closest to hell. Because heaven is wherever love reigns, even in those circumstances that are painful and full of tears. Sometimes heaven even happens on earth.” - Caleb Wilde See Caleb's book below #funerals #derby

The Lord's prayer we remember perhaps from childhood, assemblies, Sunday school - its a pattern of how to pray so if think you would like it in a service but the words are not how you would say them that's ok here's one of my favourite versions by Nicola Slee. #funerals #derby

Unfortunately I can identify with these. Being widowed 1 year, then a pandemic hits the following year, then I suffered a major injury. No support, abandoned, isolated, worried about money, in physical and emotional pain on top of trying to want to exist without my love. #widow

Today sees the start of Dying matters week 2022 What if the conversation around death was different, what if we all took more control ? #dmaw2022 #doingdeathdifferently
