New Year’s Eve Grief

Marking the start of a new year can throw up many complicated feelings when you miss someone important.

Fay Bloor recently wrote this blog, which we hope will help you feel less alone if New Year is tricky.

Our Dandelions Support groups are relaxed, drop-in groups where people can talk to others in similar situations and build friendships, alleviating the loneliness that grief can cause.

🌺 The Ode of Remembrance by Laurence Binyon 🌺

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

This #Remembrance Sunday, we are proud to remember our dedicated Armed Forces community.

#LestWeForget

One of the first commodities that was rationed during WWII was petrol. This helped preserve precious reserves to be used during the war effort.

We found Wathall’s ration book from 1942 and a document from 1949 describing how we used petrol during this impossibly difficult time.

Every year the wonderful people at @Treetopshospice invite families to share memories of loved ones with a light on their Light up a Life Tree.

Each light is a precious memory for friends and family to see from anywhere at any time.
