Friday Focus 31/08/18 – Coping

31/08/201830/08/2018
Coping - this week's word of the week

I’ve had another week of flying solo but on the whole I’ve been coping well with it. There are definitely times when I feel like I do all the essential chores to the soundtrack of Thomas crying but on the whole, I’ve been getting to grips with juggling it all. The house is slightly less… Read More

Grief and life after Jessica: the fear of moving forward

27/08/201824/08/2018

Grief is a funny thing. There are times when I feel like I am drowning in the stormy sea of grief and times when the waves calm and I find myself just floating along. I have been told that with the passing of time, the frequency of the storms will reduce. That as I move… Read More

#365daysofgratitude – Week 34

26/08/201825/08/2018
A double rainbow over houses - "#365daysofgratitude"

For the last two years, I have taken part in a daily gratitude challenge – sharing one photo a day on Instagram of something I am grateful for. It’s taught me to look for the little things and has made me a more positive person. It has not always been easy to find something to… Read More

A picture of the word "solo" with a biplane

Hubby’s away working on an event this week so I’ve been flying solo for the first time since Thomas arrived. It’s been a tough week emotionally so overall things have been quite challenging.
