Soozi Celebrant

18/06/2024

I've had an amazing 8 years of meeting wonderful people through leading funerals and weddings, a role I've taken immense pride in, and privileged to have been able to offer. Now it's time for me to focus on my own family and friends, so I'm going to take a step back from being a Celebrant and work with my family on a new way to, "Leave with Leeves!" Watch this space! Since I made the decision to stop being a Celebrant, I've had two requests from families I've worked with before, so I've decided I'll try, if I'm available, to work with people who request my Services personally, as I know how special that is for both parties as we've already got a unique connection. So it's farewell from Soozi Celebrant. I'd like to wish you all peace, take care of yourselves, and each other. Thank you 🤍

Thank you all so much for your amazing well wishes and comments, I'm so touched...and rather emotional!! 😘

After taking a Funeral in Brighton, I thought I’d sit on the beach for a while, my own time of reflection. Looking out to sea, I remembered what my father always said to me, “in the darkest of skies, the moon appears.” So true. Wishing peace to you all 🤍

Today’s the day I took my first funeral 6 years ago. All I can say is, I’ve been extremely lucky!
A huge thank you to the Funeral Directors and the Funeral Arrangers I work with, all of you really are amazing ❤️ And boy…don’t we work hard!!

I’m faced with this almost daily in my job, it frightens me so much! All those left behind need you to be there for them too. And I need to say, in my opinion, no one “loses their fight” Cancer isn’t a winner, it doesn’t deserve that accolade, whoever leaves us has taken that b***ard down with them! Soozi

This is the bit to share…

“So, after completion of the CT scan, we were immediately told to meet the Dr. at her office. That’s when we received the diagnosis. The Dr. already scheduled a visit to the Oncologist and the Oncologist had already scheduled an appointment for the biopsy. During the car ride to the biopsy appointment, you were silent. I looked over and asked, “What are you thinking? You’ve been really quiet. Are you able to share with me, because we’re in this together?” Then you said, “I‘ve had a great life. I have a beautiful family whom I love and I know loves me. Whatever GOD says is ok with me. It’s in his hands.”
I decided to post this message in support of a very special person to me who fought firmly and with good energy. Taught me to live every day as the best day! Now I'm looking to those who will have time to read this post until the end. This is a small test, just to see who reads and who shares without reading! If you read everything, select "like" so I can put a thank you on your profile. Cancer is very invasive and destructive to our body. It's a very long process. Please, in honor of someone who died or is fighting cancer, or even had cancer but healed, copy and paste.
Everyone says, "if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask, I'll be there for you." So I'm going to make a challenge, I think less than half of my friends will put this on their wall. You just have to copy (not share). I want to know who I can count on. As soon as you do, put “Done” in the comments ...
Done, in honor of all who are fighting ...and those who lost their fight.

This means a hell of a lot to me 🙄👊

Ps I have done this on behalf of a lovely friend…… who I would gladly help and for relatives and friends who have lost their fight x”

I’ve just finished a fabulous day at the stunning Hookhouse Farm wedding fair, meeting some wonderful couples and amazing exhibitors. It’s been a long day and my legs are aching, so now my feet are up, I’m enjoying a Margarita and watching My Best Friends Wedding! Perfect ending to the day…cheers everyone 💕

This Sunday, you can find me at Hookhouse Farm open day. This is a great chance to view the stunning venue and of course, meet me ♥️ So if you're heading down, please come and say hello, I'm looking forward to seeing you. Let's get together and plan how I can help you celebrate your day, your way 😊

Ok, so it’s one of those days! I had some free time, so found a low fat low calorie recipe, shopped for it, spent ages prepping it, cooked it, loved it…then finished it off with half a tub of Ben & Jerry’s!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

For the many families whose loved ones I’ve taken the Service for, for my Bolly Buddy Dee and my beautiful friend Anita ❤️

This is food for thought.
With the side effects of chemo and radiation, you will never be 100% again because your immune system is weak. Ruins marriages, families and relationships with friends. Because you're not the same again after cancer and treatments.
In the hardest moments you know who your real friends are or who the people are who appreciate you.
Unfortunately, like with most friendships, Facebook friends will leave you in the middle of a story. They want a post to “like”for the story, but they don't really read your message when they see it is long.
More than half have stopped reading. Someone may have already gone to the next post in their newsfeed.
I have decided to publish this post in support of close family, friends and relatives who have fought this horrible disease.
Now I'm focusing on those who take the time to read this post to the end ... a little test, just to see who reads and who shares without reading.
Cancer is a very aggressive and destructive enemy of our bodies.
Even after treatment, the body is devastated. It's a very long process.
I would like to know who I can count on and who takes the time to read this.
When you have finished this, write “Done”in the comments.
Sadly, cancer is still the illness of the century. Please, in honour of someone who died, or who is battling cancer. Everyone says, “If you need anything, don't hesitate: I'll be there for you.“ So I'm going to make a bet, without being pessimistic: I know my family and friends will put it on their wall. You just have to copy, I copied this from Donna Godfrey, (not share)!!! It's awareness month for this disease. I did it for someone very very special! We all know someone who stood before us, and who has fought or who is fighting this battle as well as even those we have lost.

With love from Soozi x

What a lovely surprise to see this wonderful article taking me back to the perfect day where I performed the wedding ceremony for Katrina and Marcus. The bride’s dress was so beautiful and unique, ideal for Katrina. A brilliantly fun wedding in my favourite venue. Thanks for the mention ☺️

Wow!! Today I'm actually 21,000 days old, and I'm grateful for every one of those days.

Today I've taken two funerals, one for someone so beautiful and young who lived her life to the max, but taken too soon, and one for a 90 year old who lived his life to the fullest. Appreciate every day...a cliché I know, but tomorrow’s not guaranteed. Sending peace and happiness to all my friends and loved ones, it's been an extremely emotional day 💖

I had to chuckle to myself, "Services are so difficult these days, staring out at expression hidden faeces is rather off putting..." Thank goodness for proof reading! Luckily I spotted it before sending the email. I can't wait for the day masks are removed and I can see the congregations 'faces' again.

I’m extremely lucky & grateful every day 💕
