Some of the things that grief has taught me

Trigger warning — mentions of death, suicide, and mental health. Also one swear. Last Tuesday, I had my first panic attack in almost a year. One minute, I’m twirling the last strand of udon noodle onto my fork and turning to my partner, Scott, to say, ‘I’m so scared of…

Twelve years of grief

The dead don’t have birthdays.

one in four.

In the UK, one in four of us will experience some kind of mental health challenge every year. For some, it’ll be brief, perhaps a spell of anxiety as their everyday takes a tumble through the washing machine of life. For others, it’ll be an ongoing struggle to find some…

More than money: how to make well-rounded decisions

When you’re deciding what to buy, is the decision purely financial for you? Are you impulsive, quickly making a snap-judgement? Or do you take other values into account? Personally, I make decisions somewhat quickly and it’s very rarely based on finances, although they obviously factor in. For me, I feel…

Sarah Everard has reminded us that the hardest part of being a woman is the fear.

My sister is pregnant, and she’s having a baby girl. At first, she was elated, she had big plans and dreams for how this tiny bundle of joy would grow up to be proud of her body, to think and feel positively about who she is. My sister has so…

The most special occasion is now.

When I was eighteen, one of my oldest friends died. I’d known Jamie since primary school and suddenly, he was gone. He was epileptic and he’d had a seizure, hitting his head and dying. Just like that. He was just gone. I was already sad, lost and confused but losing…

2020: the year my Father-in-Law almost didn’t get a Christmas present

‘Well, my dad just won’t get a Christmas present and that’s fine, that’s on me.’ Scott, my partner, is prone to big, sweeping dramatic statements. This statement about his dad not getting a Christmas present this year is one I’ve heard before, in fact, this is the third Christmas in…
