You may be tired and fed up, but there is strength within you even if you don’t see it. So keep fighting. #grief #loss #hope

Just to say I do not need lasagne today, not prayers from a god I do not believe in or words of positivity. But if you can sit with me in my despair, in my sadness and in my rage at the cruelty of mitochondrial disease then you are welcome. #grief #Mentalhealth #nuerodegenerativedisease

Grief is tidal. In time, it can recede and leave us with feelings of peace and advancement, only for it to wash back in with all its crushing hopelessness and sorrow. Back and forth it goes, but with each retreating drift of despair, we are left a little stronger …Nick Cave #grief #loss

"I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no other source." – Doris Day

Today … is just not happening. #dogs

Grief is much like this bottled garden, trusted to our process we can renew ourselves, given support not interference, empathy not advice we can begin to make sense of our journey. # grief # journey

Love is like the sun: the closer you are to it, the warmer you feel. Matshona Dhliwayo #dogs #love

Today I am perfecting in-car crying. Grief is a strange thing it can lie unnoticed in the business of life and rise up like tidal waves in all the spaces in between. #grief

Growth happens, it just does. It’s in the core of every living thing no matter how harsh the environment that we try the best way we can to exist, to be seen. To turn towards the light even on the darkest of days. #growth #grief

My severely sight impaired son writing on a party favour etch a sketch board. I love you. The shapes on this board will never be erased from my heart.

Grief is a lot like running, you can do the same trail and one day it’s easy and another day it’s as if you’ve never run before. Today was a great run day and today I’m sitting OK with my grief … I had my trusty trail trainers, my running buddy and a new play list …

In this moment I am keeping my face towards the sunshine …

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eyes” H. Jackson Brown
