📖 *Joint Book of the Year* 🏆 Intermezzo by Sally Rooney. A story of two brothers - one who you’ll love, one who you’ll probably hate. I found it incredibly beautiful. Details here: uk.bookshop.org/a/10770/978057…

Here they are - my Top 10 Books of 2024! 📚 They’re in no particular order, but I have chosen a Book of the Year. Ok, well, two, because I couldn’t decide between them! You’ll have to scroll to the end of the thread for those. Let me know if any of your favourites are here! 🙌🏻

Come Wednesday I can no longer say ‘I lost my daughter last year’ & if it’s not last year, it must seem like ages ago to other people, so why am I still so bloody sad? 2025 is another year Laura doesn’t get to see & a step further away from her. Grief is relentless isn’t it 💔

@shitscaredmum @criminographer 🧡

Laura’s Boxing Day event is the highlight of our Christmas & just part of her #bemorelaura legacy Thank you to everyone who donated to the present fund - our lovely Santa was able to bring lots of smiles. Thanks @criminographer for joining us, your family are truly fabulous xx

This is Pedro beside me looking outside hoping the rain will stop so he can go for his walk. I think he looks absolutely stunning and so distinguished. One of the very good boys 🥰🙏 (5/5)

Pedro was completely broken when I found him on the streets like this on the 22nd November. Worst of all for a dog was his spirit was broken. He was in extreme pain. His recovery is a thing of beauty.. (1/5) 🧵

@criminographer 💕

I'm loving all of your joy sprinklings. Thank you x 🎄

@NiallHarbison This made me laugh. It is so heartwarming. Usually I am a mess reading your posts. Eyes leaking all over the place.

This is Bubba a street dog I have fed every day for over 2 years. He is one of the biggest con artists you have ever met. This is the story of how Bubba deserves an Oscar (1/7) 🧵

@shitscaredmum @GracieNuttall41 Amazing 👏👏👏👏

Back in January @GracieNuttall41 & I set ourselves the challenge of 100 climbs of #PendleHill before Laura would have turned 25. We’ve saved the very last one for her birthday on Monday - really hope it’s drier than number 99 was yesterday! #WalkingTherapy #BeMoreLaura ❤️

@biologistimo 💔

Three weeks ago, I had a miscarriage. I was 10 weeks pregnant. We are devastated. This is the deepest and most profound sadness I have ever experienced. At our 8 week ultrasound, everything was perfect. We are all at once sad, empty, angry, and numb as we mourn this lost love.

If you’ve never been frozen in a supermarket by the sight of your loved one’s favourite peanut butter, count yourself lucky And know that one day, you probably will be Millions of people are grieving in the UK at any one time. Be kind to them ❤️ /ends #griefawarenessweek

It’s #GriefAwarenessWeek I’m 4.5 years into my life as a bereaved mum & here are a couple of things I’ve learned about grief Firstly, it never goes away - nor do I want it to. My grief is all my love for Ruby & it will forever be an enormous part of my life. 1/7

Hello everyone. It’s Nicole here (Sean’s wife) I wanted to let you all know that unfortunately Sean passed away yesterday, suddenly and unexpectedly. Sean was a fierce advocate for disability rights, it was his passion and his calling. He never stopped fighting for the rights of disabled people. He faced many battles in his life, and took them all on with strength and resilience I have never seen before. As many of you know and may have worked with Sean, he was intelligent, funny, warm…I could go on. Sean was also a loving and devoted husband, father, son and brother. He loved and was loved by many. As you can imagine, we are all utterly heartbroken. Keep fighting the good fight in Sean’s memory - it’s what he would have wanted. Nicole

@LauraPAuthor Sorry for your loss. Take care of you.

My mum died on Tuesday. And I have so much to say about it but also nothing. Dealing with the exhaustion of grief so please forgive me for late replies and general chaos.

Best news report of the day here - credit where it’s due to RTE 😂👏🇵🇸 And even some credit to the Judge today who fairly said: “I am sure there is not a lot Kneecap can agree with His Majesty’s Government on” And finished with “go raibh mhaith agaibh” 🔥

@NiallHarbison 💔 Take care of you, too.

We only knew Amalfi for 24 hours. A soft, gentle and caring little girl. I’ve never seen a fighter like her. A rollercoaster today. The only way to stay sane doing what I do is to only focus on the positives (1/7) 🧵

When putting F to bed, he asked some questions about Alexander's and Isabelle's death - as he does sometimes. Tonight, after a family party, it hit hard. I went into Isabelle's room to close her curtains afterwards and found this little gift from her flower ❤️ #grief #childloss

@shitscaredmum 😢devastating 💔

The devastating loss of a sibling is often given little recognition,in spite of the fact that it should be the longest, most enduring relationship of your life I’m v proud of Gracie for turning her own grief into something helpful & positive #SiblingLoss mancunianmatters.co.uk/life/14112024-…
