Better. Days. Ahead.
Welcome to My Blog
We all want to live well. But we all face forks in the road- some good, some bad, some chosen, some not.What matters is how we respond. My blogs will help you find your way to Better Days Ahead.
Festive Survival Guide for Those Dreading the Holidays.
Dreading Christmas? This research-informed guide shares practical ways to cope with grief, living losses and holiday overwhelm. Whether you’re navigating a death, a diagnosis, a relationship ending or simply a difficult time of life, here are tools to help you get through the holidays with more steadiness and less stress.
How to Talk to Children About Death, Grief and Loss.
People often ask me how to talk to children about death and help them cope with loss. These conversations are so tough - but also critically important. Drawing on grief research and real-world experience, I share how honest conversations can help kids process grief and build lasting emotional resilience.
In the blogs below you’ll find questions people ask me, real talk about life and handling change, and reflections on navigating tough times with strength, honesty, and compassion.
My earliest blogs are raw, written years ago, in the aftermath of significant loss, but most are about living well - my wider fascination has always been about how we can cobble together a good life, with meaning and purpose, fun and good times, hope and happiness, even when times are tough. Each blog has a theme label at the top and tags below to help you find more of what you’re looking for.
Over the years, I’ve learned that one person’s question is often shared by many - so if there’s something on your mind, please ask. I’m always open to exploring these topics from a different point of view, and truly believe the best learning flows two ways. You are the expert in your world and I’m here to learn from you.
I’m here to help you piece together a life out of the cards you’ve been dealt and the opportunities facing you. I’m proud to hear these blog conversations have helped many find their way to #BetterDaysAhead. I hope they help you too.
