The last service.

What a wonderfully touching chat. You have a skill for attacking the difficult conversations with a dignity and calm that is so very rare. Looking forward to the next chapter of your amazing journey, Alex!

So sorry for your losses, you need to process it in your own way, but remember lots of people are around to support you if you need it. We have our memories, cherish them, but concentrate your efforts into the best future for you xx

Don't feel bad Alex, you have probably given comfort to countless people throughout your service. I'm sure it's because you care for people that took it out of you after so many funerals. It must be hard especially when it was for dear friends. Hopefully you can get some quality time now and recover your strength.

Found that very thought provoking in myself. We need to realise that we are all connected in this spiritual world and we are headed on the same path, some of us sooner than others. We sometimes need to think of ourselves as our loved ones around us also need us around them X Keep the Faith and stay strong X

Sorry for your losses Alex. You’ve given enough of yourself to helping others in the light of people dying and it’s no wonder that has taken a massive toll on you emotionally. It’s some you look after yourself now.

Dear Alex, I am so sorry for your losses. I completely understand your need to move away from officiating funerals. I can see how it would be hard to say 'no' to close friends because of your compassionate heart. I support your decisions and I wish you all the best in your transition to focusing on your personal needs. Let me be one to tell you after having been through a similar transition, it isn't easy. You will doubt yourself at times, but your gut will always tell you what you need to do, as it has now. Those who have devoted their lives in service to others will understand. We continue to give until we haven't even realized we have nothing left to give anymore..... Stay strong, surround yourself with the light of God, keep yourself moving toward taking care of yourself and your family with Joy. Be with your trusted friends. But above all, rest. Take on no more than is necessary, for as long as you need to.... 🌹🌾🌹

We all get to a point in life where our friends are passing way too young and how the world will be a lesser place without them and those that are left behind get a life check. Even the strongest of shepherds need care, mind yourself Alex.

You are a clergyman and yet not once have you mentioned drawing your strength from God, the love that God has for you that will give you strength ! As another commenter has mentioned we are all one spirit , we are all one body . Why are you afraid of dying ? Death does not end life it changes life you will go on. I’m not a cleric just a Christian and yet I know this. I lost a much loved daughter in law this year to MND she was 52 she only lived two years from diagnosis. She was surrounded by love throughout. God is love, she was not afraid. I hope you feel better soon and draw strength from God. You have a lovely wife, home , son and a beautiful camper van plus great friends. I’m wishing all the very best for you in the years ahead and I’m sure they will be many.

Hello Alex. I'm so sorry to hear about the losses in your life and the reflection that followed. Would you mind messaging me your number please? I've been having problems with my phone 📱 and I'd like to keep in touch.
