Our lives ask us to die and to be reborn every time we confront change – change within ourselves and change in the world. When we descend all the way down to the bottom of a loss, and dwell patiently, with an open heart, in the darkness and pain, we can bring back up with us the sweetness of life and the exhilaration of inner growth. When there is nothing left to lose, we find the true self – the self that is whole, the self that is enough, the self that no longer looks to others for definition, or completion, or anything but companionship on the journey.

Let there be
an opening
into the quiet
that lies beneath
the chaos,
where you find
the peace
you did not think
possible
and see what shimmers
within the storm.

Always worth sharing, can't fit in a walk during your day. Try a cuppa at the back door or window and watch the clouds roll by or the birds. 💞☺️

I've recently completed training with the Infant Loss Foundation, allowing me to better support families who have experienced baby or pregnancy loss.

This kind of loss is deeply personal and often isolating. Through this training, I’ve gained further insight into how to provide trauma-informed, compassionate care to those who need it most.

If you’re in Fife or Perth & Kinross and have been affected by infant loss, please know that you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to hold space for your grief with empathy, without judgment, and at your pace.

Too many people go through this in silence, carrying grief that’s often invisible to the world around them.

Know that no matter how much time has passed, it still matters. ❤️

Few experiences can compare to the trauma and pain of pregnancy and baby loss. During...

Love does not die when the body does. That is something people who have not lived through this cannot understand. They think death is an ending, a full stop. But those of us who are still breathing after losing someone know better.
Our relationships continue. They are not over, they are changed. I can still feel them with me. Not just as memories, but as presence. They talk in my head. Their voice still comes when I do not know what to do. I still ask them questions and hear the answers the way I always did. It is not imagination. It is real. It is love that does not leave just because their body did.
When others look at us, they might think we are holding on to something we should let go of. What they do not understand is that we are not holding on to the past, we are living with what still is. Death stopped them from being here physically, but it did not stop us from loving them, from hearing them, from carrying them forward into everything we do.
If you know this too, you are not alone. You are not crazy for feeling them near, for talking to them, for knowing that your relationship has not ended. Love never dies. Love is still here. And it always will be.
