So this week is National Grief Awareness week. There's nothing morbid about having a grief awareness week, grieving does and will affect everyone, it's a part of life. People rightly say it doesn't get better you just get better at dealing with it. It's very unpredictable and often slaps you in the face when you least expect it, it doesn't necessarily show its face on anniversaries or birthdays. It's always there alongside you living a happy and fulfilling life but sometimes it just hits you harder than others.
I've experienced it, I've taught students about it, and I've learnt about it and experienced it with families as a funeral celebrant. All of that makes little difference, because it affects everyone differently, and it changes everyone. But grief is the price we pay for love, and it would be strange not to grieve those we've loved and lost. It doesn't upset me to talk about it, this isn't a pity me post..I just thought it would be good to share some thoughts during this week of awareness. I know many of my friends have recently suffered bereavements so I thought I'd share some quotes that resonate with me.
If you're struggling with grief there's lots of help out there so make sure you reach out to those who can help.

one of you is taller than the other, linking arms can be awkward, holding hands however..more comfortable and relaxed and looks nicer in pictures but linking arms can look great too. The second couple absolutely owned their wedding and had a mix of tradition, family involvement and a beautiful unity candle ceremony enhancement. When they walked down the aisle hand in hand it wasn't planned, just natural and very them 😊. There's so many options for you and your wedding ceremony so why not check out my profile.
