© Copyright 2019 Grief Probate Journey Blog

It’s been a while since we’ve been present on this platform (September 2023). This has been for various reasons. However, our path of sharing our grief experience isn’t something that has been forgotten.

We still feel grateful for the connections we have made within this community, for the followers and supporters. And those whom we are happy to see as friends.

Grief is a lifelong journey and experience. Whether is it present or vacant. It is something that is always there.

My sister and I sadly lost our Dad in March 2017, and our lives haven’t been the same since. Our lives are completely different, we are completely different people. The fact is a part of us feels like it has been missing since the loss of our Dad.

Despite this, we have always tried our best to turn situations around to be as positive as possible in the moments and challenges we have had to deal with over these past seven years. (It is unbelievable to realise it has been that many years).

One of those things is this blog. We started in June 2017 after going through many trials and tribulations with Inheritance Tax and the Probate process.  Starting the blog was never something we planned or had envisioned, but we have no regrets as we feel it was the path we were meant to lead in our journey.

Since being on pause. I Tara Greene have been focusing on another venture. Starting a business. Typing it seems surreal, believing it seems even more surreal. But at the same time, it is something that feels right. It was never a plan to become a business. But a health matter I went through is how it all came about. I did a topic about my experience.

The name of my Business is Dacosta-Joy Naturals. Dacosta was our Dad’s middle name, and Joy is our Mum’s middle name. The flower (Nasturtium) is a picture from our Dad’s garden, it used to grow in a row of three. I used to say it represents me, my mum, and my sister. This is why I chose it. It is also the same flower that we use for this blog. That picture was also from our Dad’s garden.

Since going through my health experience in May 2021, I have been on this new venture with my business since July last year (2023).

Although we haven’t been present in the grief world, we still feel close to my Dad as this is so much linked to him. as well as my Mum. I know my mum is proud of me which is great. I also believe my Dad would be proud as he was into everything natural.

Here is an article published in the Voice Black Business Guide for November 2023. I didn’t choose the name of the title. But when I saw it, it filled me with pride and Joy.

This topic was first drafted in December 2023, and now we feel it is time to return. However, it might not be as regular as we once were before, but we are still here.

We would like to say a huge, massive, big thank you to all that has supported and continues to support us. To our followers, and new followers.

Thank you.

Love and Blessings
