Today we said goodbye to Doria.

I first met Doria in June last year when I had the privilege of facilitating the funeral of her devoted husband Sid.

Today’s service felt incredibly sad, it was the end of an era but it was also wrapped in the unconditional love of her family and friends.

Doria was a beloved wife, a loving mother and a proud grandma and great-grandma.

She was a truly amazing woman, independent and strong willed. From an early age, she took up dancing and later met the love of her life at the famous Blackpool Winter Gardens dance hall.

In her younger years Doria danced on stage in London in shows such as the famous Tiller Girls and she even became a dance instructor at the tender age of 13.

Today, just like her wedding day….. heaven cleared the pathway as it rained the dirt and grime away from the streets, bringing a clear and beautiful welcome as Doria was lovingly reunited with her soulmate and best friend Sid.

Bless your soul Doria. You were an amazing lady. ### 💖🙏🏻💗

Today we said goodbye to Brian.
Affectionately known to many as “Brummy Brian”

Brian had a great love of football. While he was a proud supporter of Birmingham City, he passionately followed football in general. No matter which team you supported, Brian could always talk to you about the highs and lows of your club with knowledge and passion.

Brian found a deep love in jazz music, it fed his soul and lifted his spirit. He was fondly known as “the man in the hat” and “the jazz man.”
Music wasn’t just something he enjoyed; it became a source of comfort, healing and purpose in his life.

In later years, Brian became a passionate advocate for those struggling with mental health and went on to open his own charity, “Music and the Mind”. Through this, he dedicated himself to helping others, using music and kindness to bring hope, comfort and support to those who needed it.

Brian was someone whose door was always open. He was generous to his core and would give you his last penny if you needed it. He had a warmth and compassion that touched so many lives.
He will be terribly missed by all who knew him and all who loved him.

Inspiration to push through….. there’s always brighter days. 💖🙏🏻💙

Today in our creative counselling sessions we made dream catchers 🪶🌙

Activities like this can be so valuable for children in counselling because they offer a gentle, creative way to express thoughts and feelings that can sometimes be hard to put into words.
Making dream catchers can help children feel calm, safe and focused while also encouraging conversation, confidence and emotional expression.

It was lovely to see each child create something unique and meaningful….. a special reminder that they are heard, supported and important. 💛

Today we said goodbye to Pete.

Pete was a loving husband, a devoted dad and a very proud grandad.
Music was at the heart of Pete’s life. From a young boy, he played the organ at his local church….. a place that would later become even more special, as it was where he married his soulmate Hazel.

His passion for music stayed with him throughout his life and he went on to become a talented musician, playing the organ as backing for many well-known singers.

Pete found joy in life’s simple pleasures; his Saturday night quiz nights, listening to classical music, enjoying a good curry at his local restaurant and, of course, his daughter-in-law’s famous trifle.

Pete travelled widely and loved his family deeply.
He will undoubtedly be missed by all who knew him. But today, we take comfort in knowing that he and his beloved Hazel are reunited once more at heaven’s gate.

Today we celebrated the life of a much loved individual. I could see by the reaction of those who gathered today how deeply loved and how terribly missed they will be.

Every aspect of the funeral arrangements reflected the thoughtfulness, care and attention to detail.. The flowers were phenomenal, each arrangement was a beautiful reflection of the love that surrounded them in life.

Though today was filled with sadness, it was also filled with love….. A reminder that the impact they made will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew them.

Today we said goodbye to Delia.

Delia was an only child who was born and adopted in 1938. From uncertain beginnings she built a life filled with family, friendship and laughter.

Delia was a devoted mum, a proud mother-in-law and a deeply loving grandma. She was also a loyal friend, a respected teacher and a woman who never stopped embracing life. It was a privilege to listen to the many stories of her well lived life and to help share those memories today with the people who meant so much to her.

Although Alzheimer’s slowly took parts of Delia’s memory, it never took away the essence of who she was….. that strong, independent, warm and spirited woman that so many people knew and loved.

Today we said goodbye to Nora
A selfless sister, a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother, great- grandmother and great-great-grandmother.

Nora had a remarkable gift: she opened not only her home but her heart to care for those she loved.

In her working life, Nora was a phenomenal seamstress. She created beautiful clothes that went on to be sold on the high street.

Beyond everything else, Nora’s greatest passion was her family. They were her world. She gave her time, her energy and her love to those who needed her most.
Nora cared for her grandchildren and later with deep devotion, she unconditionally supported her husband as he lived with Alzheimer’s.

Today she leaves behind a space that cannot be filled….. a huge void in the hearts and homes of all who knew and loved her. But alongside that loss, she leaves a legacy of care, strength and love. 💙🙏🏻💖

Last week we created Mother’s Day gifts together. 💗🥰💖

For those whose mummies are still very much present in their lives, we chatted about their connections with their mums and the special things they enjoy doing together.

For those whose mummies are no longer in their lives, we talked about how different Mother’s Day might feel for them this Sunday. Whether celebrating the day would feel right for them, or whether it might be something they would rather gently avoid. 💙🙏🏻💗

Some children chose to make gifts for their mummy, while others chose to make a gift for themselves.

Loving ourselves on a significant day like this can be incredibly important. Love and loss were both present in equal measure during our conversations this week. 💛🥰
