There are so many things I miss The big things and the small The plate left on the settee The tissues that would drive me mad cos they would be left wherever she sat Diva would even purposefully leave one on the settee when she would go back to Uni, cos obviously, I missed picking up after her, and this was done with the intention of helping me feel like she was home The text messages that never came alone, but would arrive with a sound of urgency, often just to tell me that someone was sitting on her seat on the bus, or that a work colleague held the wrong views on the world The things that were just a part of normal, every day life that I never saw coming to an end #Repost @sara_rian_books with @use.repost ・・・ home. my new book 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒆 coming soon✨ 𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚜 𝚊𝚟𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚘𝚗 𝙰𝚖𝚊𝚣𝚘𝚗 ♥ 『𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚒𝚗 𝚋𝚒𝚘』 #grief #grieving #griefsupport #heartache #normalizegrief #missingyou #griefjourney #loss #lifeafterdeath #loveandloss #lostlovedones #imissyou #losingyou #griefquotes #griefislove #bereaved #bereavement #deathanddying #griefandloss #griefshare #griefpoetry #poetry #writersofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #griefclub #poetryofinstagram #griefhealing #grievingdaughter https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSA206sr12/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do you consciously live your life with meaning? What helps you feel joy and connection In the midst of grief it is not unusual to lose your passion for things you once loved particularly when you have lost your ‘Ikiga’, your reason to live Spend some time reconnecting with your passions A beautiful and insightful #Repost from @the.sattva.life with @use.repost ・・・ Ikigai “reason to live” - primarily associated with the japenese town of Okinawa, home to the longest living people on Earth. The Ikigai philosophy includes acceptance, flow, living in the moment, nature & appreciation of beauty, community & interpersonal connection, being of service, health & longevity, movement, happiness, purpose & passion. What gives your life meaning? What brings you joy? What are you passionate about? Embrace a greater sense of purpose & meaning in life … contemplate & tune into your Ikigai (we all have one) ✌️💛 #ikigai #intentionalliving #meditationquotes#consciousliving #consciousrelationship #regretquotes#postivemindset #healingquotes #lifequotes#quotestoliveby#positiveaffirmations #sattvameditation#sattvayoga#yogaquotes#wisdomquotes#casshamill#marcushamill#thesattvalife https://www.instagram.com/p/CqAiMHYs4oF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s understandable Mother’s Day can be difficult for those who are grieving their mother figure, or child. What we often forget is that the days leading up to it can be difficult too I have felt increasingly demotivated, a lack of enthusiasm and normal tasks have felt harder to do in the past few days It was only through a conversation (It is good to talk), that I clicked, it was most likely because Mothers Day was approaching I had (or my thoughtful ones) have arranged for my Mothers Day to be busy and to feel loved. I was convinced that everything was under control and that I was prepared I forgot that the days approaching can be difficult too. Once I acknowledged that, I cancelled some work and gave myself some compassion and time out. I hadn’t realised how overwhelming everything was getting. Even just recognising why I was feeling the way I was, helped me feel less overwhelmed. The pressure immediately lowered to a manageable amount. I was able to think more clearly about my needs and find solutions Accepting I was feeling this way and that it is a normal part of grief also helped. Often we criticise ourselves for things we would ordinarily give compassion for to others Allowing these feelings of loss, whilst also giving myself permission to enjoy the love I will receive on Mothering Sunday, will help me move through the feelings, rather than becoming stuck Anyone else found the last few days difficult? How are you giving yourself the compassion you deserve? ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #lossofachild #heylossmama #loss #missyoumum #grievingprocess #lossmom #lossofalovedone #grievingmother #muminheaven #stillparents #griefandloss #mother #wellneverbethesame #griefjourney #lossmama #lifeafterloss #rememberourbabies #healingtrauma #inmemory #mominheaven❤️ #lifewithoutyou #warriorprincess #mominheaven #ihadamiscarriage #grievingparents #missyoumom❤️ #stillamom #healing #neverforgotten #bereavedmother (at Grief is the Thing With Feathers) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7D8brMKMM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you know you know… Otherwise it is difficult to understand I hope you never have to experience it, and if you have, I am sending love and compassion. Something that can be hard to give yourself How do you speak to yourself on the days your mind and body just want a day off? I am done with beating myself up for today, my candles are lit and I am having an afternoon bath 🕯️🛁💕 ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #lossofalovedone #lossmom #grieving #neverforgotten #truth #timedoesnthealallwounds #motherhood #griefsupport #bereavedmother #motherhoodunfiltered #rememberinglovedones #livingwithloss #missingyou #missingmybaby #missyou #loveandpain #pain #healing #parenthoodjourney #grievingmother #lossandgrief #mamagrief #storiesoflossandlove #saytheirnames #love #stillstanding (at Grief and Living After Loss) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp44fnYMLKH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reminding myself that what ever today brings, I will bring myself compassion, understanding and love The world has moved on but the ground is still unsteady and how can you balance when you don’t even recognise yourself anymore Repost from @gretchnevans • Grief leaves you exhausted and worn down; each day you now have to carry the heavy burden of knowing that someone you deeply love is dead. The last thing you need is to be harshly criticized or told that you are falling short in this already overwhelming experience. And yet, I find that this is how many grievers are speaking to themselves after loss, which is why one of the first things I prioritize is trying to weave some compassion into their story of loss, and their view of how they are surviving this loss. You have been through so much. Each day you are working through an enormous amount of pain to show up. It is incredible that you are here, and that you keep trying despite this deep and heavy loss. I know your heart is broken, I know the pain is so deep you feel like screaming. Remind yourself today that simply being here, continuing to live is incredible. So much love to you dear griever. . . . . . . . .

If I can’t live with you, then I have to live for you, and I will keep your memory alive in the most positive way I know how. Kindness creates a ripple effect, touching lives you don’t even know about. Kindness is good for the mental health of not only the one who receives the kindness, but the giver of kindness also benefits from positive mental health Lets spread kindness 🥰 Repost from @moreandbest10 • I will say your name and tell your story to all who will hear it. I will do good because of you. I will let the world know that you were here. Lives will change for the better because of you. I will not sit quietly. I will not let them forget. You were here. You were mine. Your life has purpose and you matter. My final act of love is keeping your memory alive. #grief #griefjourney #griefsupport #griefawareness #normalizegrief #childloss #infantloss #miscarriage #stillbirth #tfmr #neonatalloss #parentingafterloss #lifeafterloss #grievingmother #babyloss #babylosscommunity #lossmama #heylossmama #bereavedmother #bereavedparents (at Kindness Inspires Kindness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvUu4aM2r0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Added to my to-do list today We all know mental health difficulties can be experienced by everyone in our society, and that often you cannot see those difficulties when you look at someone. Yet services will still look at how someone is presenting and due to masking, autistic girls are often overlooked or dismissed Has anyone else watched Chris Packham’s documentary? Repost from @suicidepreventionsociety • Powerful and raw, and so terribly true. This hit me really hard. This is one of the reasons I started the Autistic Book Club, I wanted to do what I could for the Autistic Community. To create a place where Autistic people could go, from anywhere in the world and be welcomed and understood. But we need more. We need society to understand us. Chris Packham’s, ‘Inside Our Autistic Minds’ is the documentary that was mentioned. It’s on BBC2 in the UK. I can’t comment because it’s not available where I live, but there is a lot of discussion about it on Twitter, nearly all good so far.

Suicidal feelings can be feeling hopeless and that others would be better off without you Or living with unbearable pain that you can’t imagine will ever end or be less It could be a feeling of desperation to escape your reality or a deep sense of pain Everyone’s life experiences are different and no one should feel they have to suffer in silence due to stigma When we have a high number of deaths due to suicide, it seems inconceivable that there is still so much stigma around suicide The fact it is so prevalent in our young people means we need to have open conversations in our homes with family and friends Those who have survived suicidal feelings or attempts shouldn’t feel silenced, they should be supported to talk about how they felt, what helped, what didn’t, and why they are still alive today. Those experiencing suicidal thoughts can feel so alone and isolated whilst they are surrounded by people who have survived similar thoughts Stigma prevents conversations Conversations can save lives #supportmentalhealth #suicideprevention #suicidepreventionawareness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #livingwithsuicide #livingwithsuicidalthoughts #suicidelosssurvivor #missingmydaughter #livingwithloss #lossofachild https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSOuT_sy1M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When grief comes to us suddenly and unexpectedly it can take the ground from under our feet? Whether it be a parent, friend or child When someone we love ends their life, it can feel like nothing makes sense anymore. How is it they couldn’t see all the love, life and promise in, and surrounding them? How could they leave us? What did we do wrong? What should we have done? When you lose your child, you lose the future you were helping them work towards. They were the future which would continue far beyond ours. Death comes to us all, but generally we expect to die before our children Grief can turn everything on its head, so it’s no wonder the future can appear so scary Beliefs we held before, can be turned on their heads. Things that helped us feel safe previously may now be useless If grief has made your world feel scary, be kind to yourself as you navigate the new world you live in You are not alone in this ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #griefshare #healing #loveneverdies #grievingdaughter #sayinggoodbye #widowsofinstagram #griefandloss #griefprocess #lifeafterloss #healingjourney #grieving #griefsucks #losingaparent #griefrecovery #grievingmother #mentalhealthmatters #lossmama #childloss #saytheirnames #youarenotalone #lifeandloss #griefwork #grievingprocess #grieftherapy #griefjourney #lossofalovedone #growthandgrief #traumahealing #loveyourself #heavenandearth https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJ0Y0OMucd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
