Sunday afternoon reflection

I spent a relaxed Sunday afternoon with lovely Elise; working on developing my website. Never did I imagine I’d need a website—or that I’d become an author. I’ve learnt so much, and today; it feels comforting to go to bed thinking of these new challenges, rather than the weight of my usual reality.


The best part of today was sharing stories about Coop as we worked on the site. Cooper loved Elise. She supported him so wholeheartedly when he stepped into his new role and made the big move to Brisbane.


You never truly know who will become a significant presence in your life as you walk the path of grief. Elise is one of those people for me. So blessed. So grateful.

Thank you Elise. x
