Live Your Life

Live Your Life

“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and Demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and Its purpose in the service […]

18 months on & the plot was lost!

18 months on & the plot was lost!

It’s been hard to know how to focus this website and ‘non- profit organisation’ in memory of Gumby. It’s only been 18 months today since he was so suddenly taken from us and in some ways it’s no time at all but in others it feels like so much longer. While I cannot say that […]

You Are a Superhero! But even Superheroes need help sometimes

You Are a Superhero! But even Superheroes need help sometimes

We’re all superheroes ok? I just want to get that out there, right from the get go. Shit happens to people. You, me, your friend, colleague, the stranger you shared a joke with at the supermarket. Even the dumbass driver who cut you up on your way to work this morning. Tragedies happen all the time. Just […]

The world lost its colour

The world lost its colour

I started this yesterday but didn’t get it finished. The news was all about the 7/7 London bombings which were 10 years ago can you believe? I heard a lady being interviewed on the radio. Her son was one of the 52 people who died that day. She said that in the days, months, years […]

Alone in grief forever?

Alone in grief forever?

Grief affects people differently and no ones journey or experience can ever be the same as anybody else’s. Some parts can be similar though and knowing somebody else’s story can sometimes bring comfort and reassurance. This is a personal reflection by Marian, Gumby’s ma, just 18 months after losing her  mother, husband and precious baby boy within […]

5 things you CAN DO when someone is having a tough time

5 things you CAN DO when someone is having a tough time

Since we went through our tough time last year when we lost my grandmother, father and brother within 5 months of each other, I have been very aware of how shite life can feel at times for people. Harsh things happen to people a lot. All the time in fact. But life goes on. The […]

Coping with grief

Coping with grief

Every cloud has a silver lining… When we fly (generally in planes!) we have that amazing experience of looking down and seeing the earth beneath us. At some point during the flight, it is probable that we will fly above the clouds, leaving behind the miserable grey day that we took off in, only to find ourselves surrounded […]

An update on a difficult time

An update on a difficult time

Just a few more days to go until our crazy fundraising event Be INVNCBL! 4 sleeps exactly in fact. I went to a training session tonight in the hopes that a really last-minute burst of activity will get me through it. I think I may end up requiring an oxygen tank on Saturday around 12.40pm! […]

Carpe Diem: Seize the Day!

Carpe Diem: Seize the Day!

For those of us lucky enough and who are interested in the World wide community we live in (thanks to the internet and social media), it’s practically impossible to avoid receiving inspirational stories or examples which encourage us to tell the people who we love that we care about them, before it is too late. I’ve read […]
