So today I’m going to #BeThankful for another successful (well, no-one booed me!) quiz for Miss C’s dance school. Anyone want to take a guess who the round entitled “The Main Man” was about. Clue. Two more sleeps!!!! 🎉

Today’s #BeThankful is for this episode of The Big Bang Theory. The laughs this facilitated from Miss C melted my heart 💕

Somewhat annoyingly I left my coat on the train home last night 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve filled in a lost property from on Southeastern’s website, but if anyone happened to be on the 22:20 train from St Pancras (I got off at Sittingbourne) & happened to see it or handed it in, that would be fab!

Today marks the fourth Marie Curie EOLC #DayOfReflection. But I reflect and think about the pandemic often. I don’t really have a choice. Because if the pandemic hadn’t happened, my late husband would still be here. I’d still be part of a family of three… lifeisarollercoaster.co.uk/2025/03/09/for…

To mark #DayOfReflection, WAY Ambassador Emma Charlesworth reflects on the five years since her husband Charlie died of COVID-19 during the pandemic – and invites us all to reflect on a lasting legacy of kindness. You can read her story here: widowedandyoung.org.uk/news/day-of-re… #COVID19

I think this pic sums up my weekend #BeThankful ❤️❤️

So. I haven’t posted since last Sunday. Because the grief stick well and truly has hit this week. Exhaustion. Emotions. Lack of concentration. But I’ve made it through this week. And I’m going to #BeThankful for that. Tomorrow we go again.

I might have been Little Miss Grumpy Pants. I might have been ready to throw in the towel. I might have just wanted to sit and snuggle on the sofa. But I’m still going to #BeThankful for Amy doing my next set of Jason Donovan nails for me 💕✨

I had a message today about one of these cards featuring Mr C’s photography. It made me smile so much. And that’s definitely something to #BeThankful for 💛

As weeks go, this one hasn’t gone quite to plan. But. The main thing is somehow I’m still standing. OOO is on for a much needed day of R&R tomorrow. And for the first time all week I finally believe I’m getting to see Vicky fenwick. And that’s got to be worth a #BeThankful ❤️

We are. It’s true. Even if she doesn’t tag me 🙄🤣

As we approach Mother's Day, we've spoken with our friends at @WinstonsWish about supporting children and young people whose mum has died ❤️ You can read the full list here: widowedandyoung.org.uk/news/how-to-co… #MothersDay #GriefSupport #advice

This time five years ago, I was staring into an abyss. It was my 39th birthday. I had just learnt my husband had been sedated, ventilated & was in Intensive Care. I was making calls to update people. This is what someone could have told me that day 💕 lifeisarollercoaster.co.uk/2025/03/30/you…

Five years ago today the world was shut down. We were living in lockdown. Life as we’d come to know it didn’t exist any more. Five years ago today my entire life changed irrevocably. My family would never be the same again. lifeisarollercoaster.co.uk/2025/04/19/19t… #DearCharlie #YoungWidow

Today is the last day of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, a week that Mental Health Foundation has been leading since 2001. This year the theme is community & I wanted to share this with my online community. It really is okay not to be okay & I shouldn’t hide from that 💚 lifeisarollercoaster.co.uk/2025/05/18/its…
