Local Church Receives New Vicar Amid Cycle of Personal Milestones and Grief

Last service filling in at the local church - they’re getting a vicar (shared with others) from tonight. It’s also my birthday, so happy news all round, and they gave me flowers #Bloomscrolling

The flowers my partner got me for Valentines Day are doing so well, with lots of new buds that I’ve been delighted to watch open day by day #flowerFriday

Family coming to town for the celebration of life of our dear relative this weekend. We are a complicated layer cake of neurodiversity, cptsd, and generational dysfunction - like many families - with grief icing. So this week I’m trying to hold the boundaries that keep me safe and healthy. I’m trying to hold onto what I love about this family (most of them, anyway). And I will try to remember not to hold stuff just because someone hands it to me. #healing #grief #cptsd

Good Morning! Beige blessings be. Hello everyone, how's life treating you? This week is a very weird one for me. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the fire and my brother dying. Thursday is when my nephew then died. Friday is our wedding anniversary. It's going to be an emotional rollercoaster of a week. Which is why I have decided that this week is one to celebrate being alive. Yes, I will mourn those I lost, but more than ever I appreciate the fact that the best way to honour their memories is to live life fully and enjoy the time I have, whenever I am able to. So #today I am going to spend some time in the countryside, and I will raise a glass to my little brother and his son, tell stories, probably cry a bit and definitely laugh a lot. How's your day looking? #GoodMorning #BeigeBlessings #Life #Death #Grief
