The Love He Left Behind
5th July 2021
Emma and her family were supported by Princess Alice Hospice during her husband Tom’s illness and after his death in June 2019.
Emma, who was a teacher prior to starting a family, started her blog – ‘the thoughts and ideas of a young grieving family’ – in January 2021, as a new way to focus her thoughts and writing. “My intention is to write a short piece every month through 2021 on my feelings and our lives as the love he’s left behind. In each one I use a song, a picture book and a book aimed for older children to help inspire my writing. I hope that my ideas will reassure and possibly help others who also walk this incredibly challenging path.”
