This is something it's natural to want to avoid looking at, but the advice is so beautiful ❣️

Expected Death ~ When someone dies, the first thing to do is nothing. Don't run out and call the nurse. Don't pick up the phone. Take a deep breath and be present to the magnitude of the moment.

There's a grace to being at the bedside of someone you love as they make their transition out of this world. At the moment they take their last breath, there's an incredible sacredness in the space. The veil between the worlds opens.

We're so unprepared and untrained in how to deal with death that sometimes a kind of panic response kicks in. "They're dead!"

We knew they were going to die, so their being dead is not a surprise. It's not a problem to be solved. It's very sad, but it's not cause to panic.

If anything, their death is cause to take a deep breath, to stop, and be really present to what's happening. If you're at home, maybe put on the kettle and make a cup of tea.

Sit at the bedside and just be present to the experience in the room. What's happening for you? What might be happening for them? What other presences are here that might be supporting them on their way? Tune into all the beauty and magic.

Pausing gives your soul a chance to adjust, because no matter how prepared we are, a death is still a shock. If we kick right into "do" mode, and call 911, or call the hospice, we never get a chance to absorb the enormity of the event.

Give yourself five minutes or 10 minutes, or 15 minutes just to be. You'll never get that time back again if you don't take it now.

After that, do the smallest thing you can. Call the one person who needs to be called. Engage whatever systems need to be engaged, but engage them at the very most minimal level. Move really, really, really, slowly, because this is a period where it's easy for body and soul to get separated.

Our bodies can gallop forwards, but sometimes our souls haven't caught up. If you have an opportunity to be quiet and be present, take it. Accept and acclimatize and adjust to what's happening. Then, as the train starts rolling, and all the things that happen after a death kick in, you'll be better prepared.

You won't get a chance to catch your breath later on. You need to do it now.

Being present in the moments after death is an incredible gift to yourself, it's a gift to the people you're with, and it's a gift to the person who's just died. They're just a hair's breath away. They're just starting their new journey in the world without a body. If you keep a calm space around their body, and in the room, they're launched in a more beautiful way. It's a service to both sides of the veil.

Heya, I can barely contain myself - my Shakespeare Tarot Deck is FINALLY ready! ✒️

So here's what I've created: I've taken every single card from the classic Rider-Waite tarot and matched it with a character, scene, or symbolic object from Shakespeare's plays. Each card comes with handy keywords and a little description to help you get the meaning straight away. 🎭

But wait, there's more! I've also built a whole website that goes deep into each card - explaining the traditional meanings and how I've woven Shakespeare's magic into them. You'll get a QR code with your deck that takes you straight there. 🎴

Now, the practical bit: I'm doing a limited print run of just 100 packs at £25 each. If you fancy getting your hands on one, just drop "BARD" in the comments and I'll message you. It's first come, first served, but don't worry - if they sell out, I'll pop you on the waiting list in case I do another run. 📋

Honestly, this has been such a passion project for me, and I'm absolutely flippin delighted with how they've turned out! 🥰

Just keep breathing

You never know what tomorrow will bring ⛵️

Ernest Hemingway once said that the hardest part of being an adult is having to keep going—even when you feel completely broken inside.

It’s a truth many of us understand. Life doesn’t pause just because we’re tired, heartbroken, or struggling. It keeps moving. There’s no break for grief, no time-out for healing. The world expects us to keep going, even when it’s the last thing we want to do.

What’s worse? No one really warns us about this. As kids, we hear stories where everything works out in the end—where pain has a purpose and happiness always returns. But real life isn’t like that. Most of the time, surviving means showing up when you feel like disappearing, smiling through invisible pain, and carrying on when your heart feels like it’s falling apart.

And yet, we do it. We get up. We move forward, step by step. That’s what makes us human. Even when everything feels heavy, even when hope seems far away—we still try. And with time, we discover a quiet strength inside us. We learn to comfort ourselves when no one else does. We become our own support system.

Resilience isn’t always loud or heroic. Sometimes, it’s just a quiet whisper that says, “Keep going.”

Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it’s unfair. And yes, there are days when it feels like too much. But every step you take, no matter how small, is proof that you haven’t given up.

You’re still here. You’re still trying. And that—more than anything—is brave.
