Remember, it’s a breakthrough not a breakdown. This quote appeared in Broken Love and Little Pocket of Love. Let’s rewind to 2011 where I lay on the cold dark tiles of my student accommodation in Galway. My chest heavy with grief, my face an ocean of tears. The weight of my heart and pain within my soul felt like a magnet on that floor and … Continue reading Mindful Monday…3
Welcome back to Mindful Monday. Here is your second quote from my book Little Pocket of Love: “Acceptance seems unachievable when you are in pain. And for some people, they live and die never accepting what has happened. And that’s a tragedy in itself. You now have a chance to learn to accept the past, to grow and to move on.

This has been one of the shortest breaks I had but it can be done in one day. Flights: I flew with Ryanair from Dublin. Flights leave Friday evening and come back Sunday morning meaning perfect time without … Continue reading When in Rome
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. Mam reminiscing on the time she went into labour, how her first born made her wait 14 hours. We would be laughing about childhood birthdays, the tears, the tantrums, the fun and the games. We should be … Continue reading Happy 30th Birthday Marcus
