Every day I'm reminded how much of a privilege it is to do my job. RIP Colin 🌷

People often ask about recommendations for children's books dealing with loss. They can be a great way of framing a difficult discussion, so please ask if you need any support with this 📚

I really appreciate people taking the time to write a review when I've taken a service or ceremony for them. They do this in several ways, by adding a review to the Celebrant Directory, by giving feedback via my Vale Ceremonies business page on Google, by leaving a Facebook review or by a simple text or email. Some send cards and flowers and each one touches my heart. Thank you.

When someone dies and a family member is far away from home, they can feel very isolated; arranging a webcast so that they can watch the service can mean so much to them, especially if they are personally welcomed. 🌹

Such a wonderful afternoon at fabulous Morley Hayes yesterday, celebrating Tricia's life and saying farewell. She adored plants and flowers, and this thoughtful gift from her family will always remind me of her. 🌷

Up early this morning with yesterday's services on my mind. Three farewells, the combined time these people were in this world was an amazing 289 years.
Rest in peace Jack (97)🌷, Margaret (102)🌷, and Jean (90) 🌷

Lovely feedback from a wonderful family. It was at a natural burial ground in pouring rain and the ground was like a swamp! Fortunately, most of the service was in a lovely converted barn in the grounds.
'To the wonderful Jacqui Alexander
I don't quite know how to thank you enough for your help and patience putting Mum's service together. It was just perfect ❤
Your delivery on the day with such confidence and empathy was outstanding.
It was so good to have you there, gave me so much strength to get through. ❤
How you managed to stay upright during the graveside service was a miracle 😀
We all want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤
Lots of love'
