@fairygriefmother: Birthday visit to Lee’s bench 🤍 Today I saw Lee’s memorial bench for the very first time, on my birthday. Took a little bottle of prosecco so I could raise a toast to him — to love, to memories, to everything we shared. Sitting there felt like being close to him again. A bittersweet kind of comfort. Love you more, always ♥️ #widow #birthdaygirl #griefjourney #HealingJourney #missyou
It’s not just a bench. That bench is going to hear so much laughter, it’s likely to witness some tears, even hear memories as these strangers sit and watch the shore. That bench is going to give so many people a chance to catch their breath, share their fears and find comfort in this big old world. Happy Birthday my lovely!

So strange that I stumbled across this… I took a picture of this bench on my run this week as there was something so beautiful about it. I sat for a bit with my thoughts before I ran home again. 🏠

Since my daughter was little she would always ask about the names on the benches in our local park, we will stop and read the lovely plaques and say ‘hi’. I’m sure there are many people like us who will stop by and say hi and take a moment to think of your loved one ❤️

Oh my lovely it’s not “just a bench”, it’s a place where you feel connected to him and can dedicate time to processing, reflecting and grieving. Having these spaces is so important for those of us who are grieving. It’s no surprise that you were nervous and overwhelmed when it came to visiting the first time. Sending you so much love and wishing you as happy as a birthday as you can manage ❤️
