Plans Change.


Two thousand and nineteen, I was looking forward to, from the last years ups and downs and finding my new normal again. With Living Well, building my business and living in the moment life brings you. I’m feeling great my mind is getting back on track to the day to day and I’m making plans with small steps in place for the future, then….

I’ve been on roller-coaster that life brings. End of February my brother is admitted to hospital. This was so serious he was placed on life support as the doctors didn’t know or couldn’t work out what was wrong with him as he was going downhill fast. This was very daunting as I never thought of him passing away as he did on the 4th March. Now I’m grieving of the loss, with the sense of being an elder sibling to now two and not three.

Grief is a weird and complex emotion to deal with for a brother only 3 weeks before his 49th birthday. I held his hand two days before he passed and asked myself if I could have helped him in anyway. He was a loner and lead his life around the simple things. He was a great brother growing up with. He was always smiling and full of energy and I will miss him as he would want me to keep smiling and for him too.

You can’t predict how your grief will affect you in any situation it is so very different. All I can say is take your time to heal and life will be a little different as this person changed the cause of it. Life is for a challenge and this is one of them. If you need help in anyway speak to your Doctor a professional or your best friend.

As I have taken time to grieve and will have moments from time to time, I can move forward in my journey as I know he would want me to be living well.
