At Christmas, we are often reminded that this season is meant to be shared with family and friends, a time of togetherness, reflection, and love.

For many, however, this Christmas may feel very different. If this is your first Christmas without your loved one, please know that you are not alone. The empty chair, the familiar traditions that feel harder this year, and the quiet moments can bring a deep sense of loss. It is okay to feel whatever you are feeling, there is no right or wrong way to grieve, especially at this time of year.

As you move through the festive season, I hope you find comfort in precious memories, in small moments of peace, and in knowing that love never truly fades.

Your loved one remains part of your story, held in your heart and carried forward in the lives they touched.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to all the families who chose me as their Specialist Funeral Celebrant.

It has been a true privilege to support you and your family, to help honour a life, and to create a farewell filled with meaning, dignity, and empathy. Your trust means more to me than words can express.

From my heart to yours, I wish you a gentle Christmas, one filled with compassion, understanding, and hope for the days ahead.❤️

Dear Santa, I'm writing you this letter as I'm feeling a little blue, so I hope you don't think I am asking too much of you. You visit every year and leave everyone such wonderful things, but I'm wondering if you can also visit our loved ones who have angel wings? I know you must be busy, so much to do in just one night, but could you please make an extra trip to the stars that shine oh so bright?
You see we have special loved ones, too perfect for life on earth, no presents could we send them to truly show their worth. So could you please leave them all a gift and put a stocking on their cloud, filled full of precious presents from their loved ones on the ground. Please stroke their sleepy heads, tell them their families love them so, that their hearts ache with sadness and their tears just seem to flow. If you could do this for me Santa, their families might be able to smile, even if it is just for a tiny, little while.
So thank you very much Santa for everything you do, after all it is Christmas, up in heaven too... ❤ ❤ ❤

🌟 1st of December 🌟

December wakes softly, with frost on the air,
A whisper of magic begins everywhere.
The days may be shorter, the nights may be long, but hearts glow the brightest when spirits stay strong.

The calendar opens its final small door,
Inviting us gently to hope just a little more.
For kindness grows louder as winter draws near, and light shines the bravest this time of the year.

So step into December with courage and cheer,
Let go of the worries you carried all year.
Today is a promise, a fresh place to start—
A warm ember glowing inside every heart.

May this month lift you gently, with peace in its hands, and surround you with wonder only December understands. ❤️
