Absolutely this. Your wedding your way 💖💜

Walk down the aisle with whoever you choose, by yourself, or maybe an aisle isn't your style! ✨

IF YOU ARE A WOMAN WITHOUT HER MOTHER

There will never be a day you don’t miss her.
Never a day, where you don’t wish you could hear her voice or ask for her advice just one more time.
There will never be a moment that you don’t regret a missed visit, simply because life was just too busy.
And now you realise busy is fake, it isn’t real.
She was real and she is gone.
You are alone.
The feeling of abandonment and loneliness is huge. Mind-blowing, no matter how loved or surrounded by family you may be.
None of it is her.
When the woman who brought you into this world is no longer here, it is a lonely place.
And you are now she.
You are now the one expected to guide, to discipline, to love, to handle everything, for everyone. And that is a shock.
But you got this.
Because she taught you well.
She made you right and she made you strong and she filled you with enough love to share around, even after she was gone.
So go on.
And make her proud.
And remember, look out for the little girl who still lives inside you somewhere, she misses her Mama very much.
Be kind.

For anyone not feeling it…

The pressure to be merry and bright can have the opposite effect, I know. The thing is, you’re loved. And your peace is worth more than anything you could wrap. ❤️

(From my daily guided journal ‘words to live by’… excited to begin this with you in the new year ❤️)

Feedback following recent funeral. I’m so pleased to get comments like this. 💜 I really think one of the most important parts of being a celebrant ( maybe the most important ) is listening 💖
