We love this new review ❤️

"Abida was friendly, asked questions about me and my circumstances with sensitivity and was genuinely interested in my answers. It wasn’t a ‘hard sell’ at all, and she was very knowledgeable about the products and services offered answering all my queries. Nothing felt rushed and I was able to do through things at my own pace. I have been telling my friends about Plan with Grace since taking out my plan, and discussing the benefits of a funeral plan for those of us whose family would not have immediate access to funds to be able to pay on the event of our death or those of us who wouldn’t want to burden them. I cannot recommend Plan with Grace highly enough."

It's okay to feel sad - losing someone who inspired and moved us, even from afar, still leaves a space that’s hard to fill.

When a celebrity dies there are many reasons why you might be affected.

They may have been a role model or their work may helped you through a difficult time. It’s natural to be upset when someone who had an impact on your life dies.

Allow yourself to grieve. Give yourself permission to feel sad, for the person who has died and their loved ones, and also for what you have lost.

Grieving is not a sign of weakness — it's a reflection of deep love and loss. Taking time to grieve allows us to honour what we’ve lost, process our emotions, and begin healing. There's no "right" way or timeline — just the gentle reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal. 💔💫
