This was me. I was devastated and overwhelmed. It was all too much.
Sometimes I still have to do this:
'In the early days of grief we don't know what else to do...
so we gather ourselves into ourselves.' ~ By me for me.

After the deaths of my husband and daughter it took me a very, VERY long time before I could focus on what was left in the full part of my glass. But I finally did. I hope you can one day too.

Today was a tough day as a memorial service to Steph took place at her workplace but it’s a fitting tribute #widowerlife
Among the gifts that love brings are those moments when you are so content together to just BE. It’s truly wonderful - occasionally looking up, smiling at each other, then carrying on… 💚❤️ #doodleaday #loveafterloss #widowerlife
Just over 6 years ago, the bottom fell out of my world. 3 years ago today it began to mend. You never know what is around the corner. Live your life to the full and take nothing for granted. 💜❤️💚 #doodleaday #widowerlife #loveafterloss #findingjoy

I think it’s the first Christmas as a properly blended family that makes it so special. I feel so grateful: I have my fab kids, my wonderful Lisa, love my work and my friends. Love is everything. #doodleaday #loveafterloss #widowerlife #findingjoy
This young lady brings me joy every day - my lovely daughter Lili (wearing her Christmas beanie!) #twelvedaysofjoy #findingjoy #widowerlife

Once I felt the fog slowly lifting on this new widowed life I'd been dealt, I realized there was a big world out there. I had closed the doors to it for so long. It was time to creep outside and begin exploring.
