Such sad news today about the passing of Liam Payne. A local lad, a son, a brother, a dad. Thinking of his family at this difficult time, I hope they get space to grieve.
Every day I meet families devastated by the sudden loss of loved ones, it is so hard. I think Donna Ashworthโ€™s words strike a chord. Always speak your love , we can never take anything for granted โค๏ธ

The NHS Organ Donor register is 30 years old. This week 23-27th September is organ donation week. Whilst none of us like to think about these things it takes 2 minutes to register your organ donation decision and every donor can save up to nine lives.
More than 7600 people are in need of a transplant and whilst around 1400 people donate the waiting list continues to grow. Do something amazing ๐Ÿ’•

So today was a momentous day for me. Wow, what a journey it has been. My job is such a big part of my life, Iโ€™ve never worked so hard and at times it is gut wrenching, heartbreaking and sad. At other times it is uplifting, incredible, inspiring and makes me smile. The one thing I do know is that I wouldnโ€™t change a thing.
I get to work with the most incredible people, I meet people from all different walks of life and I really value life. To you I am forever grateful.
Thank you to everyone who has played a part in my journey so far and long may it continue.
As I reflect on previous services I thought I would share a few photos ;

The art of letter writing is something beautiful which we donโ€™t do very often in this modern world.
I remember in my younger years having a pen pal in America who sent me some wonderful letters telling me all about life as a young American. When I went to University the daily routine was to queue to see if you had a letter in your pigeon hole from a friend or relative. It was the highlight of the day!
I was therefore so pleased to receive this letter recently sent to my home via the Funeral Director . One of the loveliest letters I have ever received ๐Ÿ’•

When writing a funeral service it is impossible to cover the whole of someoneโ€™s life. Instead it is about picking key moments, stories and encapsulating them, so that people leave with good memories at the forefront of their minds. Sometimes those stories are legendaryโ€ฆโ€ฆ.

Thank you to every person I have worked alongside this year, from grieving families to funeral directors, arrangers and Crematorium staff. I class myself as very lucky to work in this industry and meet so many amazing people.
I am going to take some time off with my family over the festive period. Wishing everyone a relaxing Christmas and a healthy New Year.
For those who have lost someone this year be gentle with yourself and let your grief be what it needs to be.
Much love Debbie ๐Ÿ’•
