Splashes of colour ❤🌻

Thanks for all the support with the poems ❤ here's the title poem to say thank you! #iam #grief #loss #nature #outdoors #writing #poem #poetry #healing #etsy #pamphlet #handmade

Ten years 💔 Sometimes it feels like only yesterday, and then at other times it feels such a lifetime ago that it's hard to comprehend it happened to us. I like to think I'm comfortable now with grief, that it's just become a part of my life but there are times - songs on the radio, dogs on footpaths, butterflies on flowers, the smell of something cooking - when it catches unexpectedly. As I get older it staggers me that you were such a young mother, younger than i am now, that you made this life for us and that you were a person of your own with hopes and dreams, a person that I never really got to know but we had for a short while. Missing you today and always ❤

Flowers for a rainy day ❤🌻

August is a funny old month. Summer always feels like it's sort of nearly over and it brings with it lots of memories. It's ten years next week since everything changed. It’s impossible to imagine at the time, but soon grief and loss just become a part of the landscape of your life and after a while, it dulls. It doesn’t go away, it just becomes normal, and so you forget to think perhaps that it is odd or something that happened to you. It is just a fact of life, something that you live with. Ten years is a long time, a lot of time for life to happen. Everything in life now is separated into a before and after, and the after is beginning to stretch out, longer and longer, so that the big things that happen in life, and the little things too, have become uncountable. Adult life has been this huge ‘after’ and we have never known any different, so it’s just normal. Over the years, I’ve written many poems on the subject, and this year I decided to put together some of my favourites in this little pamphlet, with the idea that any money raised from selling some copies will go to the wonderful St Wilfried’s Hospice in Eastbourne, who although we perhaps didn’t appreciate it at the time, took great care of us all. Hospices are strange places to be, but the work that they do is so so important, but they need funding. Hospices make people comfortable at the end of their lives and give them a nice, caring place to be. If you’d like to buy a copy, then it’s available through my Etsy shop as a physical thing or a pdf download - link in my bio. #anniversary #grief #loss #death #mothers #motherdaughter #poems #writing #iam #nature #outdoors #hospice #pamphlet #chapbook #poetry #writing
