1. Introduction
Quite often when we are doing blog topics my sister’s children are around. They hear us talking about topics and things that are upcoming, like interviews and things like that.
They have also featured in topics, and most recently they have started giving topic ideas. When this happened we wanted to acknowledge and encourage their ideas. It is not our grief journey alone, they miss their Grandad. Antonio had a very special bond with our Dad for these reasons it makes us feel happy that they want to be involved in this way.
This topic has come about through my eldest nephew Antonio. Not only did Antonio come up with the name of the topic, but we also sat together and chose the quotes and did the introduction together.
Here are some pictures of our Dad and Antonio together:
Children’s grief is also important, it’s just as important to acknowledge their mental state of mind and wellbeing. Children are our future. We also have topics on Children and Grief and/Children’s Grief Awareness and Children’s Grief Awareness Week (19th -.26th November 2020). We also have a topic on Children’s Mental Health Week: 1st -7th February 2021).
My eldest nephew’s topic is: Sadness and hope in Grief
With it being Christmas time and a time we would usually spend together it does makes us think more about the fact our Dad is not here with us.
We always try to make Christmas a special day because it is our Mums birthday. This year we wanted it to be even more special, the main reason how unwell our Mum was. We are so thankful, grateful and blessed for the improvements we have seen. Another reason is the pandemic we have been living through for so long, and now there is another variant.
Will the life we all once knew before the pandemic ever come back again? It feels like the answer is no, it feels like a “New Normal” is our existence right now.
In this topic, we hope to bring some hope to the feelings of sadness and loss during the Festive Period.
We have posted this after Christmas day and are pleased to say our Mum had a nice day for her birthday. She especially enjoyed her Christmas Birthday Cake which we would like to share with you.

We hope this topic will give you an idea of not being sad in grief, we also hope it gives you hope.
Peace.
