Grief is love with no place to go 💜
It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I share the unexpected and devastating news of mam’s passing while we were on holiday, here in the UK. This trip was about togetherness, family, laughter and of course Christmas, her favourite time of year. Sadly, mam left us peacefully on Christmas Eve.
As a florist, I’ve created countless sympathy arrangements for others, hoping to bring a small measure of comfort during their hardest times. I never thought I would be creating mam’s flowers so soon, a bittersweet moment to honour my absolute rock through the power of flowers. She was my greatest supporter, cheerleader and warrior, the bravest woman in my world actually.
I want to thank everyone for coming to the farewell service of faith & love yesterday and to those in Australia who were with us from afar. Your kind words, messages, memories and support mean the world to me, my dad, my brother, my husband, my sister in law and of course M**s cherished grandbairns during this incredibly difficult time. Your love has reminded me that even in the darkest moments, community and compassion is everything.
Due to the heartbreaking circumstances, I extended my UK trip until the end of January. Thank you for your patience, I understand my admin is bursting at the seams but I will get back to you flower lovers eventually, easing myself into reality from the beginning of February. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Mam, you were my world and I will carry your memory, your laugh, your singing, your honesty, your bravery, your nurture and kindness with me.
Always with me, always Christmas 💜❄️
With so much gratitude for:
