We will never forget ❤️

I don’t forget them.
Not for a second.
Grief doesn’t fade the way people think it does. It doesn’t shrink neatly with time. It just learns how to sit quietly beside you while you carry on breathing.
I carry my dad in the way I still look for his voice when things feel hard.
I carry my son in every moment my heart aches for what should have been, the future he never got to live.
And I carry my sister in the silence where her laughter should still be.
There are days I function, smile, work, care for others and people think that means I’m “strong” or “coping.” But the truth is, love never leaves. And when love is this deep, pain never fully leaves either.
I don’t want to forget them.
Forgetting would feel like losing them again.
So I carry them. In my heart. In my work. In the way I hold space for other people’s grief, because I know, in my bones, what it feels like when your world changes forever.
This is life after loss.
You don’t move on.
You learn to live with love that hurts, and somehow, still keeps you going.
Alison 🤍

Some losses don’t fade with time.They don’t disappear — they just change how we carry them.This song is for anyone who kept going, even when the world moved ...

✉️ The words you never got to say…
Some words stay with us.
Not because we forgot to say them...
but because there was never enough time.
At Guardian Funeralcare, we’re creating a quiet, safe space for those words.
No names.
No judgement.
Just words.
You can write the message you never got to say..
to a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, anyone you’ve lost.
Those words will be kept safe with us 🤍
Handled with care, dignity, and respect.
✨ In the coming weeks, we will be holding a Memorial Evening,
where these thoughts and messages will be gently read aloud —
honouring love, loss, and everything that remains unspoken.
You don’t have to be strong.
You don’t have to explain.
You don’t even have to stay.
Just know…
your words matter, and they will be held with kindness.
📍 Guardian Funeralcare, Shipley
When you’re ready. When it’s quiet. When it’s too much to carry alone.

Please post in the grey post box at the side of the chapel or send by post .
