Professional Development as part of my role as a Grief Specialist is something I take very seriously and none more so than when I work with Focused Groups .

By that I mean for example the Veterans, Care providers and sobriety support systems that I’m currently working alongside .

has a 15,000+ veteran community. charity hub network help their monthly meeting at Scarborough Barracks this week where the Ministry of Defence regional employment engagement director Pauline King & Doncaster Councils
Veteran champion Teresa Hodgson spoke to the group about employability and overcoming barriers for veterans .

This image of poppies invokes memories of the waves on the turbulent Irish Sea 🌊 which I’ve crossed many times and you can see in the distance .

The fact it’s held steadfast shows resilience. The wind on the Isle of Man which is in the middle of the Irish Sea is pretty fierce !

Perhaps the poppies are symbolic of lives lost at sea or fighting on beaches or those that never return to the Island . I don’t know but that’s what I felt when I saw it.

My dear friend & fellow director of our Community Interest Company Found My Veteran & Blue Light Grief Focus Groupd Her late Mum was a veteran .

Another military connection & reason for offering our support at our Veteran & Blue Light Grief Focus Group.

Getting the Children at this school to be involved in the creation of this beautiful tribute is how we Involve the next generation to honour the fallen & reminds me of when I worked at our local school for many years. We’d take the whole school to the local cenotaph at 11am on 11/11 and each one would be respectful .
