Sky dive for The Harbour

As some of you may know on the 16th August 2022 my whole life changed forever when my beautiful mum passed away from a spontaneous haemorrhage. On the 13th august she suffered a large bleed on the brain and was placed straight in to an induced coma once the paramedics arrived. For three days I sat with her, talking to her, brushing her hair and holding her hand all whilst her favourite music played in the background, until the devastating time came to turn off her life support. Losing my mum has been the most traumatic experience I have ever had to deal with, not only losing my mum but my best friend also.

I have decided on the 26th August , on what would have been mums 61st birthday I will jumping 10,000+ feet out of a plane to raise money for “The Harbour” , this is an organisation I will be forever grateful for. I feel everyone has the right to receive grief counselling when losing a loved one. I myself was fortunate enough to be able to pay for my sessions but not everyone is in the same position ,so please if you can ,donate too help others going through the pain of losing someone they love dearly to provide a safe space where they can have time to reflect on their own feelings.

I myself have never suffered with mental health but after losing mum I felt different, I felt lost, numb, angry and alone yet I had so many amazing people around me. I knew in time I had to reach out too someone professionally and someone that didn’t know me or mum to help me process not only losing my mum but help me process the way mum passed and the trauma it had left with me. This is when I started visiting The harbour for weekly counselling sessions. I still suffer from all of the above , some days more than others but they helped me understand how to deal with my feelings, emotions and helped me understand that actually it is ok not too be ok at times.

This was always a dream of mums and I will be doing it all for her. I love you so very much and more than anything I miss everything about you being with me.

This is for you mum ❤️
