Mum Moments - Journey Through Grief... Why did I share my personal journey?


When I started writing after my mums sudden death I was writing as a survival technique. I wrote because I was in shock, I was in pain, I didn't know what to do. The more I wrote, the more it helped me embrace all that I was feeling. It helped.

Writing became my healing tool. Writing helped me explore all that I was feeling. Writing helped me find my way through. Writing continues to help me on my journey.

As I shared my writing I discovered my words helped others, it helped them to get in touch with their own feelings. My writing gave them permission to feel.

My wish is to help others find a way through on their own journey though grief.

Sending love and hugs to everyone on their own journey through grief.

About the Author
I am a mother, sister, daughter, facilitator, speaker, author and an advocate for self-expression. Over many years I have embraced a holistic approach to life for myself and my clients. I have helped and supported others to embrace their feelings, get to know themselves and make choices that produce positive outcomes in their lives. Everything I had learned and practiced was in my face as I experienced the roller coaster ride of raw grief following my mother’s sudden death. I found writing my thoughts and feelings in my Mum Moments journal helped me deal with the reality and emotions of death which at times overwhelmed me. As I shared my journal with friends and colleagues I was touched that my words had a profound effect on others dealing with the death of a loved one. In one powerful instance my words motivated a friend to reunite with her estranged mother. To observe someone reconnecting with a living relative touched my heart. I felt it important to share my healing experience in order to help others and decided to publish my journal. I hope it will help those finding their way through a difficult time.

My journal “Mum Moments – Journey Through Grief” and ‘HEARTSPACE – Letters To My Mother’ – Both available from The Grief Toolbox
