Saying farewell doesn't get more beautiful than this!

30/09/2024

“Let the hard days be hard. When you mourn a person, it’s a form of love. You mourn their loss because they mattered, because the world without them is diminished. Sit still with your grief if you need to, then lift it and carry it with you. KEEP MOVING. Take stock of what you can see in your life now that parts of it are gone: What view has that space created?”

A quote from Maggie Smith herself about grief when she was utterly devastated at the death of her husband Beverly Cross 💔

Her only link to Yorkshire was probably her role in Downton Abbey.
While Downton is a fictional town, it's set in the very real and beautiful Yorkshire Dales.Very little of the series was actually filmed in Yorkshire, but many of its towns — Leeds, Richmond, Ripon, Middlesbrough and Thirsk — are all mentioned by characters in the show.

May she now rest in peace 💔❤️

Yesterday we had BBC Yorkshire filming on site!
Lizzy is an award winning journalist who works for a new investigations team for the BBC based in Leeds.

She was looking into natural burials and the green concept and the advantages of it 💚

Special thanks to Sarah from Full Circle Funerals who brought their eco hearse; Louise for coming and talking about her experience with Tarn Moor and Full Circle as her parents are buried with us;
and Team Blades for preparing a plot to show the advantages of a shallower grave in a natural burial ground 🤎

It was a busy afternoon and the rain managed to hold off! 😊

We will let you know when it will be aired on the television 📺 as well as online and on the radio 📻

I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.
I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.
I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.
I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.
I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.
I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.
Yes, I missed you so quietly today.
But I felt it so loudly.

What is success?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded! ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Such beautiful and wise words

Brave Girl,
“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

Such true and beautiful words

Two Mothers Remembered

I had two mothers – two mothers I claim, two different people, yet with the same name.
Two separate women, diverse by design, but I loved them both because they were mine.
The first was the mother who carried me here, gave birth nurtured me, and launched my career.
She was the one whose features I bear, complete with the facial expressions I wear.
She gave her love, which follows me yet, along with examples in life that she set.
As I got older, she somehow younger grew, and we’d laugh as just mothers and daughters do.
But then came the time that her mind clouded so, and I sensed that the mother I knew would soon go. So quickly she changed and turned into the other, a stranger dressed in the clothes of my mother.
Oh, she looked the same, at least at arm's length, but now she was the child and I was her strength.
We’d come full circle, we women three, my mother the first, the second, and me.
And if my own children should come to a day when a new mother comes and the old goes away,
I’d ask of them nothing that I didn’t do. Love both of your mothers as both have loved you❤

Absolutely right!!! I often think about the beautiful words a family ask me to say about a person who they have loved and lost and I wish that they were here to listen to them!
