Friday Focus 23/04/21 – Opening up

23/04/202122/04/2021
The words 'opening up' in purple

It’s been a busy week with various activities opening up again. Sophie started back at swimming last week, and this week her dance classes restarted back in the dance studio. Before lockdown she was doing two classes a week; now she’s doing five as she’s joined in the competition team. Thankfully three of those are… Read More

Friday Focus 16/04/21 – Joy

16/04/202116/04/2021
The word 'joy' with doodles of flowers, a heart and a butterfly next to it

It’s been three years this week since Jessica died and, as with the previous two anniversaries, we focused on giving joy in honour of our beautiful brave girl. It was lovely to see others joining in too to #givejoyforjessica, sharing their memories or just keeping us in their thoughts. We certainly felt surrounded by love.… Read More

Friday Focus 09/04/21 – Time

09/04/202108/04/2021
The word 'time' with a watch as the 'i'

The best thing about school holidays is being able to enjoy that time with Sophie and Thomas without having schoolwork to worry about. It’s been even nicer this week to be able to meet up with family outdoors and enjoy some time with them too. We had a lovely Easter Sunday afternoon sitting out in… Read More

Friday Focus 02/04/21 – Reminders

02/04/202108/04/2021
The word 'reminders' in pink with a picture of Jessica as the dot above the 'i' and a doodle of a vase of flowers on the 's'

The run-up to Easter and the start of the school holidays are full of reminders of those last weeks with Jessica. This time three years ago we were on what would turn out to be our last family holiday with her. She wasn’t well that week and while there were happy moments when she enjoyed… Read More

Friday Focus 26/03/21 – Triggers

26/03/202127/03/2021
The word 'Triggers'

This time of year is a tough one. As the third anniversary of Jessica’s death draws nearer, the triggers for grief increase. Some of them are easier to anticipate than others. I know the memories of this time three years ago will become increasingly painful and I’m prepared for that. Those are the triggers I… Read More

Friday Focus 19/03/21 – Routine

19/03/202120/03/2021
The word 'routine' with a clock as the 'o'

We all seem to have settled back into a routine again with Sophie at school during the day, Thomas at home, and me working from home. Hubby’s been going into the office a little more this week but is still home in time for dinner each evening which is nice. I’ve been getting out for… Read More

Friday Focus 12/03/21 – Productive

12/03/202113/03/2021
The word 'productive'

Sophie is enjoying being back at school and it’s amazing how much more productive I’ve been now that I don’t have to supervise and help with remote learning! I’ve managed to catch up on various jobs I’ve been putting off and keep on top of other things as well as having more time to get… Read More

I'm Louise, mummy of three - Jessica, forever six, who was born with half a heart and lives on in mine; and heart-healthy Sophie (born 2013) and Thomas (born 2018). I blog about living with grief after child loss, crafts, days out and the little moments of family life.
