I would firstly like to apologise for my rather overdue post, however through my absence I have discovered and entailed a rollercoaster of grief and have identified one key thing. Its all progress, no matter what you’re perspective- you are always moving forward. Grief never presents itself in a liner form, one moment you can… Continue reading Its all progress
This is the most personal entry I have publicised but I felt it was the time. Writing is an incredibly cathartic release and enables you to out so many feelings. I found this today and wanted to share it with you. Dear Daddy, I miss you. I wake up everyday and am reminded of the… Continue reading Dear Daddy.
With the loss of someone close comes a tidal wave of pain, darkness, absence and an overriding sense of bewilderment.
