❤️🙏🕊️

I love your earrings!

Thank you SJ for sharing this moment with us. Sending you loads of love & light. ❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹

Pray,

Thinking of her always, grief doesn’t disappear, but it does manifest itself in different ways, sometimes beautiful sometimes unbearable.

Thank you for the update,

It never stops being a punch in the gut to remember what happened to someone so kind and loving. Thank you for talking about your experience and sister ❤ I’m so sorry you feel you are wrong for being sad or grieving. You need to give yourself the love you would give others. Your feelings are allowed to take up space ❤ For the signs, I completely believe in those. They’re so common across all cultures, it can’t be a coincidence with so much evidence

Have you ever been to Papua New Guinea?

I love the name Sophia but wanted something a bit more original so I named my daughter Sofia-Kate!!! :)

Thank you for sharing about your grief. Learning about self compassion from Kristin Neff and Tara Brach helped me through a really tough time, and changed my life really. Sending lots of love ❤

Blythe though its pronounced slightly differently makes me think of the potato famine in Ireland :( I do really love the name Morwenna I think its so beautiful and I love that it has meaning connected to the sea.

Baby girl name suggestions for a Turkish, Kurdish, English, Scottish descended child?! All four grandparents have different heritage. Mum is English/Scottish and dad is Turkish/Kurdish.

Naomi would be so proud of you all ❤. Next month will be ten years since I lost my dad to cancer. Still feels like he could just walk into the room. But I've also lost two children unexpectedly at birth and that grief is so very different. Xx

Grief that has not yet come up can cause panic attacks alongside the trauma of what happened.

Being the sibling left feels like a floating piece of paper with a small 1 of 2 at the corner. No one knows that loneliness but I hear you. You will always be a sister.

Your sis was such a beautiful girl, my heart goes out to you SJ. I still can’t imagine how hard it must be for you and your family even today. Sending so much love ❤️

Sending you hugs

Odette is beautiful! I thought Marie was the main character in The Nutcracker(I was watching a Disney+ series called On Pointe...I swear every little girl wanted to be Marie)!

I hope you are ok

I lost my mum in law almost to the day you lost your sister, to cancer also. It's hard hitting all those first anniversaries, first birthdays without her, Christmas, mother's day etc remembering back just a year earlier when she was here. We miss her so much and wish the kids had more time with her 😢

❤❤❤

Thank you for these videos. Your sister really would be so proud. I'm really struggling to find a community. My mum passed away 21 years ago when I was 11. I only started my grief journey last year when I found out through talking therapy that I didn't grieve at all at the time, so it's really painful, physical grief still as it's very fresh, even though it happened so long ago. I also have a two year old so the grief guilt part makes so much sense to me. Also constantly being told how strong I am.. wow I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds that really difficult. Thank you again for this video xx

“Hurt people, hurt people” I think is unknown trauma that you carry, and you don’t realise you’re hurting people. Whereas you sound like you fully understand your trauma, you are taking care of yourself and explaining it to the people around you. So I don’t think you are hurting people.

I've dealt with light headedness and dizziness due to anxiety and it's the worst 🥲 My anxiety always manifests physically its just salt in the wound

Grief is a strange one I lost my dad and really went into a bad place as I already had ptsd I suffer with bad panic attacks also I used to wake up with this strange nightmare it been tough I totally get what you are going through it changes your life forever Also I wear a elastic band that I flick on my wrist when I panic Take it easy on yourself your beautiful sister is always with you energy never leave the planet there always with us xxxfaye xxx. Spirits are always near us I truly believe that remember your sister is half your dna she’s living on in you. Also my partner lost his sister 3 weeks ago she was 58 and had lymphoma she got told March 2024 then went hospital and didn’t come out her older parents who are 80s are absolutely devastated. Obviously but my husband hasn’t even cried yet his just shocked. It was only the 2 siblings Also we let a Chinese lantern 🏮 up over the sea where we live. In Cornwall it was so lovely he wrote a special note on it to polly. But still no tears it’s like he wants to cry but can’t 🥹

I do believe in 'signs' very much. On the day of my Grandma's memorial service, a robin appeared in the churchyard when my Dad and Aunties were waiting outside to enter with the vicar. My Grandma had a love for robins, so I'm certain that the robin was her, letting us know she was okay and she knew we were all there to remember her-we lost her in December 2022. I lost my Nannan in early 2017, and I married my husband just over 18 months later-my Nannan's wedding ring is actually my wedding ring and I wore her necklace on that day-and that gave me amazing comfort. It was such a beautiful day weather wise and I honestly believe that was down to her and my Granddad-I definitely felt her presence, possibly because of the necklace. One year is a milestone, but I'm sure your sister is watching you and would be so proud xx

You take care sending you lots of love. There are definitely signs.

I'm just coming up to a year since my sis passed away 😢 💔just have this heavy feeling constantly in my chest. Its always just a powerful feeling together with peacefulness just thinking of that special bond we had.

Sending lots of love. I feel like this past year has flown by, but it probably hasn’t for you and your loved ones. Thank you for sharing the side of grief that isn’t talked about enough ❤

You’ve made it through the hardest moments now . The anniversaries are always physical in the lead up. Without me even realising I am off physically every year since my mum passed 9 yrs ago, and my close friend 8 yrs ago. Our 5th baby passed away at 5&1/2 months gestation this year and I’m dreading the first anniversary. I’ve never cried so hard and deeply in my life and every moment I think of him it feels wrong he isn’t with us . Hard days are ahead still , I know it comes back on the first anniversary.

❤❤❤❤❤

I’m a year and a half out from losing my dear dad after he got MND. The first year was unreal, like you said. Looking back I felt quite dissociated, it almost felt like nothing happening was real. The remembering he was gone would come round and hit me like a sledgehammer at random times. Lots of tears. I found maintaining relationships very difficult, very hard to manage stress. It’s calmed down for me at this point. It does seem a state of being that calms down with time. Sending love

My mother-in-law passed last week after 4.5 years with pancreatic cancer. She died 3 years after my father-in-law.

All my love always SJ! My videos are there for you if you ever need it xoxo big hug to you

I'm coming up on 10 years since my big brother died. The pain of the loss has faded a lot in the last handful of years. The absence is and always will be there, but the wrack your whole body, can't breathe for crying pain is mostly gone. Someone no one told me was that the second year can be as bad (or worse than) the first year. I'm the first year I was just kind of in survival mode and bracing myself for all the firsts. The second year it hit hard that this was just how life was going to be now and I wasn't ready or braced for any of the seconds so it knocked me on my ass. I know that might sound discounting, but I mean it as a kindness to not be totally blindsided by it... Also, be extra gentle with yourself when you get older. My brother lived for 9,055 days (a tattoo I have to always remember not to take a day for granted) so I know to the day when I passed him. It's a really weird and emotional thing so line up some extra supports for yourself ❤️ I don't know if it's an American thing, a local thing, or a family thing, but someone told me that anytime you see a cardinal it's a loved one coming to visit. I don't believe that's true personally, but every time I see one it makes me think of him and I smile so I fully understand those little signs and signals that remind us of all the good and lovely things we get to cherish for having known them.

Can’t believe it’s been a year already. Been thinking about you and Naomi a lot because my aunty has just recently been diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer spread to her liver 😔 💗

Im glad you posted this, I’ve been worried about how you’ve been doing. Grief lasts forever, and sometimes it takes a while to process after the first year, once the shock and adjustment wears off. Im so sorry 😢💔

Sending so much love SJ ❤️

I am so sorry for your loss. I know your sister would be so very proud of you and all that you are accomplishing, even while climbing the mountain of grief that her passing has left behind. I am Still struggling after years. I battled cancer, then immediately after my last treatment, I lost my dear mother. During four years, I lost not only my mother, but 3 of my closest friends to cancer, then my dad to heart ailments. I feel survivors guilt, and just plain lost most of the time. The first time I went to see a Dr. about it, I told him how sad I felt. He said, " didn't you say that the friend died last week?" Me: "yes" Dr. : "Then you should be over it by now! Stop crying! They're dead and buried! Shutup!" I was appalled! My heart was broken for my friend's little children, and if I was able to just, 'shutup' I would have! I wish you the best life has to offer, dearest S.J. You are a treasure. May God bless you and your family with peace and comfort.
