Thanks to your incredible support, we have raised £974 for Pancreatic Cancer UK by running the Edinburgh Marathon. On the day, Charlotte was unfortunately unable to go ahead with the run but I completed the marathon in about 5 hours. It was tough but a lovely day with great support. , thank you for the invaluable work you do.

For those of you who want to help but don’t know how:

Everyone grieves differently but after speaking to many of you I found some common to say / not to say.

Even if you’ve been through grief yourself, being on the other side and trying to support a friend is always difficult.

Here’s just a few examples of what to say (or what not to say)

Grief does not follow rules. People are often very quick to say that you will follow a 5 stage process after a loss - bu...

Grief does not follow rules. People are often very quick to say that you will follow a 5 stage process after a loss - but grief is not linear at all, and does not follow a set process. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.

This post is all about guilt in grief, how it can present and why we feel it 🧐 These thoughts and feelings can be really uncomfortable but I think it helps to know it’s a normal part of grief and we all feel it! 🌻 I think the most important message in this is to be kind to yourself and be forgiving of yourself - because it’s easy to think of things you should have done differently in hindsight, but at the time things seemed entirely different ✨

Have you ever felt that you are not feeling the way you are ‘supposed’ to whilst experiencing grief? You might not always be sad or physically crying whilst going through loss, but this is normal! The shock of such an event can cause emotional numbness as your brain is struggling to process what has happened. So if you are not crying at your loved one’s funeral, don’t be too hard on yourself.

Hi all,

For today’s post I wanted to share a quick app recommendation. Finch is an app that I often use (on and off). It’s a good way to track your moods and encourage you to do basic (or more complex) tasks.

I know this sort of things isn’t for everybody but if it sounds like something for you please give it a try!

You can download it from the App Store, while there are extra payments for premium accounts the general app (which is what I use) is completely free!

Hope you all have a nice bank holiday 🌷🌸🐣

Part of the grief of losing a parent is grieving the milestones they miss out on. The advice you don’t get, the hugs you don’t feel, the stories that remain unshared.

Often since losing my Dad, I’ve felt I’m missing the version of life where he gets to witness the person I’m becoming.

But i’m still including him in these thoughts. He may not be here for these moments but, in a way, he’s part of every single one of them.

Hi all,

We’re back with a part 2 of films (and tv) that have key themes of grief. 🍿🎬

These are things I would highly recommend! Some however can hit quite close to home so I would avoid if you’re still trying to process.
