Has anyone seen Hamnet yet? I cannot wait to have the chance to see it!

I watched an interview with Jessie Buckley on and this quote was a beautiful perspective on the intersections of storytelling and grief. They go hand in hand for so many to move through the pain, and to find soothing balm in telling stories that help us carry the weight of our pain.

Ironically and inconveniently I have had to repost this due to … of course… my poor brain did not notice the very word inconvenient was spelt wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

grief rebels - society has conditioned us to believe our grid is inconvenient, uncomfortable, too much, and disrupts hyper productivity that aids the capitalist system we are living under. Grief deserves rest, space to breathe, and morph and be weird and hard and soft etc.

Grief rebel?

Grief has been an inconvenience to a society that has for far too long valued convenience, comfortability, hyper productivity and hustling. Showing up for our grief authentically can feel like an inconvenience, uncomfortable, and a rebellion against why society expects. Let’s be grief rebels together.

I work with incredible people in hospice. And this one here is a golden thread woven through it. Here she is gathering birthday supplies to give to a family member from an end of life resident who isn’t able to do so anymore. Flowers, their favourite pizza and cheesecake. This are the little things that matter, that allow people to seen and heard even in their darkest of time. Showing up matters and changes lives even at the very end

I just watched “Goodbye June” and of course i ended in a puddle of tears. While I read some mixed reviews about how this film could have used this subject matter of a mother dying in a more explorative way, it held some poignant moments that really stood out.
+
A tender moment was captured in this off the cuff quote “you don’t mind if I die, do you darling?” felt so human. So raw. And that’s what u loved the film for. Even if it went too cliche in parts with wrapping up all these characters issues in two weeks, it’s a powerful reminder that we need art to explore themes like death and grief. For people to create things that take us into conversation about subjects that society pushed to the shadows is important, even if it’s never perfectly captured.

Hello 2026. My 26 goals for 2026:
1. My heart to keep growing softer.
2. Keep showing up in all my “too much-ness”.
3. Continue shouting out loud about grief care more than ever
4. To keep saying the “f-word” because it’s funny - and technically a nervous system regulatory.
5. To care less about laundry and having a clean house and care more about filling it with guests, food, and joy.
6. To travel - even if it’s just as far as that cute bakery I keep meaning to go to
7. listen to more songs that break my heart and sing it back together
8. See the magic in humans - even when the world is literally falling apart, I will keep falling in love with this messy little life.
9. To prioritize therapy again.
10. To find rest in community.
11. To show up for others often.
12. To unlearn toxic ideas still floating around in my ever learning brain.
13. To learn more about what love looks like, what grief looks like, what joy looks like- not just for me, but for others.
14. To be a wildfire of silliness. To not take things too seriously unless it’s things that are seriously needing to be taken seriously.
15. To remember that time is the one thing I’ll never get more of. To spend it wisely and equally dilly dally, and be frivolous with the silliness of life.
16. To remain committed to the idea that romantic love is not the pinnacle of a life well lived - pursue intimacy in friendship, family and nature AND FOOD.
17. To eat deliciously, the pasta, the pizza, the strawberries, the kind of melon that juice runs down your chin, mint ice cream, squishy avocado on toast, roasted potatoes and Yorkshire puddings and dairy milk chocolate.
18. To use this phone less.
19. To love my children with the best of me and not the crumbs left over at the end of the day.
20. To give myself grace when some days the crumbs are the best of me. Have you ever had a crumble?
21. To read books.
22. To stretch my body
23. To play an instrument
24. To grieve unashamedly
25. To create fun things with no expectations or plan
26. To keep growing old

Some must reads to add to the 2026 reading list! I have listened to all of them on audible because often early in my grief journey I couldn’t concentrate on text but I was desperate to soak up more on others sharing about grief. Also ADHD + busy schedule I have found I can enjoy books through too.
+
These books aren’t all necessarily “grief themed” - but they have profoundly expanded my empathy, continued curiosity into the human experience of grief, joy and living a life that soaks up the whole spectrum of emotions.
1. Wild edge of sorrow is the closest I’ve ever come to saying THIS IS THE BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME. I dare you to try it
2. The beauty of what remains is so tender and shows us the ways we can move forward with a life of beauty while continuing to move with the love and grief we have been through.
3. Ebb and flow was such a beautiful surprise. I listened out of curiosity and found grief, joy, decolonizing grief and life woven throughout the exploration of our connection with water.
4. Your body is a revolution - my friend wrote this book and it’s a must read for EVERYONE. I stepped into deeper healing as I let Tara’s words flow over me.
5. From here to eternity- a book of travelling the world to explore what a good death looks like. This is eye opening, interesting, and continue to cultivate my curiosity for expanding how death, dying and grief can looks different.

What grief has taught me in 2025 (the very short list!)

12/27/2025

As I spend the holidays in my homeland of England, I’ve compiled some grief tips with a for a great British grief off.
1. Dilly dally
2. Risk it for the biscuit
3. Have a good chin wag
4. Have a kip

As many of us plan to gather with family and friends this holiday season, be sure to invite grief to the table. Let’s get over the idea that talking about those who has died, or to hold sadness wit joy in this season is “bringing the room down”. No! It’s a vulnerability and honesty that breeds authentic community and relationship. Bring grief back to the table.
1. Light one candle once you are all sat, and say “we light this in memory of those we wish were still physically here”.
2. Set an empty seat at the table to make space for your people who have died.
3. Hang a stocking and have people add memories and stories of the people who have did.
4. Make their favourite food
5. Share a toast and clink those glasses

Get creative! Share any ideas below for others to see!
