I'm here to help light up the darkness, inspire, and help other mums feel seen and less alone through my musings on life, motherhood, and mental health, intertwined with my faith and grief. This is a space for REAL motherhood - the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Here, I promise to be open, vulnerable, and honest.
Here, you are seen, and you are heard.
Last month, I shared a post with suggestions on how to support children through grief and loss. One of those suggestions was to be honest in age-appropriate ways, and we found a great way to do this was through books. There are so many options out there, so I've decided to share some of our favourite children’s books on grief and loss to hopefully cut the overwhelm and help you find a suitable one.
When we think about grief, we often picture adults. But grief is not reserved for just us grown-ups. Children grieve too. The tricky thing about grief in children is not only may it be delayed, it also may not look like adult grief.
When we lost Dorian, one of my biggest fears was that I would forget him so I was desperately looking for ways to preserve and honour his memory. I’m sure I’m not the only mother who has walked this path so I wanted to shout out some lovely Australian small businesses that have helped bring me some solace through their heartfelt keepsake and memory pieces.
My oldest son turns 6 this week, so I’ve decided to write something in his honour in the hopes that it will spread a bit more awareness, kindness, and acceptance towards all neurodivergent kids.
