    Support for bereaved children

    July 11, 2017 /

    Who offers support for bereaved children when a parent or sibling dies? This is a guest post from Phonenix Bereavement Support as part of my promotion of charities for free on my blog during June 2012. Ben* was devastated when his Dad died. It was so sudden. He went out in the morning to work, but didn’t come home. His motorbike had skidded off the road. Ben’s Mum couldn’t stop crying, and his little brother kept asking him, ‘When’s Daddy coming home?’ None of us like to think about death, especially our own, but for some children and young people death comes into their family very unexpectedly and very suddenly,…

    What Does It Feel Like To Be Adopted?

    March 15, 2017 /

    What does it feel like to be adopted? I intend to blog about adoption issues every day this week and hope to cover various viewpoints. It is one of those life issues that affects many people, rippling out down the years and across boundaries. So there are many voices – adoptive parents, birth parents, adopted people, siblings of adopted people, wider birth relatives, partners of adopted people, children of adopted people. If you would like to submit your voice, please send me some writing to mums-the-word@live.com this week for hosting on my blog. I recognise that it is all too easy to judge and that many in the mix have…

    Getting advice on a will from a probate solicitor

    March 10, 2016 /

    Getting advice on a will from a probate solicitor can help as we face our own mortality. Getting advice on a will If we are loved and have loved, we have had an amazing life right there. However almost through that very loving, we are guaranteeing ourselves abject emotional pain in the future. Death is an inevitable part of everyday life and when you see someone looking miserable and you feel like telling them to cheer up it is good to remember that they might be recently bereaved. We can debate whether it is more challenging to lose someone suddenly in an accident perhaps or after a short or long…

    Perfect bag for mums – Mia Tui

    January 30, 2014 /

    What is the perfect bag for mums like me? The first thing to reveal is that there used to be battles when I was a teenager. My late Mum felt a handbag was an essential piece of kit for all girls and women. She had lots of different ones and I could never see the point of that. Now I sometimes see bags that remind me of hers and there is one of those little pangs of grief. They were very much a part of who she was. They were a bit like the Mary Poppins’ bag in terms of having every possible item you might need in them. When…
