About Me:
I am a mother of three beautiful adult sons, they are my life, I have a fabulous partner who has been by my side through thick n thin,my puppy ruby is my best friend, My life is my family, I have four step children and five step grandchildren, which I adore, my favourite time is family time, when we are all together, I am very blessed with warm and loving parents, my friends are my rocks, they have been there through so much, especially when my husband was killed in a car accident, since then I have been making a small difference in my community, this has turned into a passion, of helping others who have lost loved ones,, after walking the journey of hell, through grief, I know I am here to make a difference with a helping hand by giving others support through their journey of Grief and loss. I know I can make a difference. I have been down that deep dark hole. I am so very blessed to have wonderful support from my friends and family around me that believe in my journey of helping others.
About my Loss:
My husband was killed in a car accident 15 years ago leaving me with 3 young sons, aged 8 ,9 and 13 yrs old, I never ever wonted the sun to rise that morning as I knew I had to tell them their daddy had been killed, those screams haunted me for years, my grandmother had died the day before so we were going to be going down to her funeral the next day, as soon as Allan came home from being away debt collecting, sadly he never came home , at one in the morning the police arrived and two victim support ladies to tell me my husband had been killed, that was the beginning of my journey to hell, Allan was my light, my soul mate, he was my sunshine, he treated me like a queen, he just loved me and his boys so much, it is hard to put into words his unconditional love he had for us, I was so blessed and honoured to be his wife, our family did every thing together , he came to every thing with me with the boys from the doctors, kindy, day care, coffee groups kids school camps, sports, every thing we were involved in Allan was there, with a huge grin, being so very proud, of his sons, life was never ever the same, the pain of living with out him was unbearable, I know if it wasn't for my 3 sons, I would have joined him, the pain of having your heart n soul ripped out was sooooo painful, actually there is no words to describe, that blanket of grief that suffocates you so tightly with each breath , some how I managed to put one foot in front of the other, with the support of my boys,my family and friends, especially my partner that is there unconditionally, those first 5 to 6 yrs seemed a real blur, I thought at times I was going mad, nuts!!!! we are now 15 yrs along, seems amazing as I couldn't think 15 seconds a head let alone 15 yrs, with the help from Allan above, he has guided me through so much, my family have been my light, through the tears, it has now become a lot of laughs and good times, I am soooo proud of my boys they are the most incredible young men, I cannot express how proud I am of them, I know it has been so hard for them with out a dad, some how we have done it, all together. My partner has been my rock, he is amazing., my world is my FAMILY, so so so blessed to have so much love around me, both on earth and above.
Are You a Service Provider? If Yes, please tell us about your service.
I was a director of a an organisation called Woman and Grief home care organisation, non profit for 8 years helping others with support ,counselling workshops etc I just loved helping others that have been in the same or similar journey. I then
closed that organisation 3 years ago , and I now am the proud director/ creator of a non profit organisation called "Feeling Fab" pamper days, we have a beautiful team of volunteers that help me give back to ladies that have been through, Grief, Loss and Life, we go through different organisations who hire us for the day. We do massages in the morning, then they usually have a cry, as touch is so powerful, they come and have a chat with the other ladies that have come for the day, we provide them with yummy morning tea, then one by one they go and have their hair done, nails and toes painted, makeup done, by my feeling fab team who are professionals , they then get changed into a beautiful outfit, we have lunch, then chat some more about their journey, this helps them so much, to be able to talk to others whom have been on a similar path, during that time they are able to do some crafts, if they wish, we then give them some donated outfits and goodie bags to take home, we end the day with a glass of bubbles and lots of laughs and tears, as they feel and look beautiful inside and out, watching that blanket of Grief that was choking them when they came in the morning slowly loosen over the day, by the end of the pampering , they are standing tall,breathing beautifully without choking from the journey of their grief, being able to help these ladies , get through the next minute, the next hour, the next day is such a great feeling , we are blessed they are able to come to a safe environment and share their story , this all helps with their healing process . we are out there making a wee difference in the community, with my beautiful volunteers by my side, who give up their time on weekends so unselfishly , they all have such huge hearts, Feeling Fab is making a real difference . Wahooooo !!!! so very excited to be able to give back. We have had so much support from our sponsors/ companies who have given to us , which means we are able to continue helping others, I am very humbled by every ones generosity, we have grown from strength to strength, my aim is for "feeling fab" to be in every small town, city through out the world. I know through the loss of my soul mate I am here to make a difference with out Allan leaving, I would not be touching so many hearts who need to tell their story and to be heard, while being pampered. Reaching out to complete strangers makes a real difference, "Feeling Fab" is their for you.

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
