23.01.2022 Waiting to present something awesome #awesomenewcastle @awesomenewcastle

21.01.2022 I have been blown away by the generous nature of people (like Rachelle) who have: shared their stories, offered their wisdom and opened their hearts.... It's my hope that we can talk about death, and funerals, the bits that make us proud, the parts that we can do better and take the time to understand the process more so that we can all have the courage to make the decisions that are right for us when the time comes. You can follow Rachelle's blog here: The Whole Thing Is Weird: 304 Days Of Grief

20.01.2022 If you only just rang one business, you would just pay what they asked. If you didn't think about it until you needed to arrange a funeral you would just do what was expected. The simplest of funerals start from $2,000 but would you know where to go and whom to ask?... If you wanted more, to really take charge of the moment and make it unique, would you have a person to listen to your ideas and make them happen? When the time comes, decisions will feel like they have to be made fast and without much thought. With our help, you'll have the time and support to think about things.

20.01.2022 This is amazing. and needed. Now you can notify banks, power providers and other organisations that someone has died. And more and more businesses and organisations are getting on board.... https://deathnotification.gov.au/

17.01.2022 You deserve to know what it will cost to say goodbye to a loved one.

16.01.2022 So fun and kudos to whomever thought of it. Write your own epitaph using predictive text and leave it below. He lies (your name).... (Pronoun) was .. (and your phone finishes the rest.)

13.01.2022 Yes. I would. Yes, you should always think about options and possibilities.

12.01.2022 Listen out 9:15am on Thursday to ABC Newcastle as I talk openly about The After Party, arranging funerals and talking with your loved ones about your plans.

12.01.2022 So something rather Awesome happened last night...

11.01.2022 I started this business to be helpful, so based on my own experience of losing a loved one I have put together a list of moments when you'll miss someone you love, who's no longer here. When you eat their favourite food. Watching a movie. Days ending in y.... At the park. At the beach. On Facebook memories. Christmas. Doing your groceries. In the shower. When they pop into your head and you weren't expecting it. Their birthday. At the car wash. 1:35pm Right now. At a stop sign. The day they passed. 10 mins from now. Watching youtube. When you're on hold with the bank. Staring at the wall. Breathing. Lying in bed Making coffee. Reconciling your taxes. Hanging out the washing. Building a deck Washing the dog. ...etc ...etc ...etc The point is you'll always miss them, they will always pop into your head and it will never not hurt, it just might ache differently. every. single. time.

08.01.2022 We need to talk about "Bob". I wrote this post to express what anyone who has lost someone would tell you if they were being honest. You never really get "over it". You just don't.... You can be having the greatest day of your life and still niggling at the back of your head is the sad realisation that a part of you, who you should be sharing your joy with, is not there. But "Bob" doesn't care about that, because "Bob" is like the internal voice we all have that seems to think there is some kind of time frame as to how long we are allowed to feel sad or hurt and how long we hold onto our grief. He is the outward troll, that reflects what we think other people are saying: Things like: This shouldn't still hurt this much. Isn't it time you moved on. Why are still upset... etc Now, "Bob" is either a) amazing at dealing with issues and has discovered the secret to moving through grief. (In which case I very much look forward to his new book " In Bob We Trust") or b) "Bob" hasn't lost someone that has hit him hard. And it's often hard to relate to people who are going through large amount of grief if you haven't been through the same thing. You DON'T know quite what to say, or what they might need, or how long they need. And you know what, you don't need to. You just need to be kind. To listen. To be there if they ask (and if you can) and to give them space if they aren't. There's no rule book with losing someone and people who want to set a timeline or make comments like "Bob" are not people you want or need around you while you figure out what the new normal is. So in short, don't be a "Bob" and certainly don't listen to a "Bob." You don't need to "get over" anything.

08.01.2022 "Grief can become ‘competitive’ and, when there is shared grief, there is often a story/misconception that one person is grieving ‘more’ or grieving ‘harder’ when they are just both grieving differently" We spoke with Giverny Lewis - Sex Therapist & Relationship Counsellor, a qualified sexologist, educator and counsellor who works with both individuals and couples of all types on a broad array of sex, intimacy and relationship concerns.

07.01.2022 Tomorrow we celebrate a much-loved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. We will bring together family and friends from all over the country, if not in person, then at least virtually to honour June Keith.

05.01.2022 June, you would have been so proud of your children and grandchildren. They honoured you with love, their favourite memories and your amazing shortbread which I was not going to leave without trying! It really was next level. My love to all the family and friends who joined us in person and online to celebrate.... https://www.pettigrew.com.au/keith-junette/

02.01.2022 When you read this - you’ll know that strength is something you find, whatever challenge , whatever the situation, you make your own way through. It’s not the way others would choose. If it happens to them, they’ll find their own path. It’s yours and it’s right, because it’s right for you.
