The dark cloud looms again. I wish I was writing to say all is well and once you reach the acceptance stage of grief that it is the end of the pain and the darkness. But sadly it isn’t. It doesn’t just leave and if it has for you – please tell me how. It’s creeping close to Marcus’ twelfth anniversary. And while it seems … Continue reading The Dark Cloud of Grief
Today we should be blowing the balloons, hanging streamers and collecting your cake! The house should be filled with love and laughter because it is Valentines Day after all.

We should be … Continue reading Happy 30th Birthday Marcus
We are losing more lives on our roads, breaking more hearts. I lost my older brother Marcus to the roads. He was only 18-years-old with his whole life ahead of him. It’s tragic.

I’ve always been very aware of my surroundings even from … Continue reading Why I Write About Grief

I went on a European getaway over the Christmas and traveled to four different cities. City number two was Rotterdam. It was a very modern city and rather quiet but I later found out that it has a huge underground scene so that might explain things. A nice place to see and it can all be packed into one night. Flights: I travelled to Rotterdam … Continue reading This Could Be Rotterdam
