Sitemap - 2023 - Gently Does It

Takeaway cups of tea, treatment plans and telling the children I have cancer

The great Newcastle escape

Bird’s custard hat, scarf and mitts

Veins

The first funeral

Have the children forgiven you yet?

The conversational dance

Swapping the notebook for the shopfloor

Books, podcasts, a writing prompt and a new word I'm loving this autumn

The restorative power of a seaside circuit breaker

Time to get my writing act together

A little camaraderie goes a long way

World Cancer Day - what does it mean to you?

The sucker punch of a cancer diagnosis

Navigating life after breast cancer

Gently Does it

YOLO mum, just get in the water and do it

So what happened?

Who'd a thunk it?

This year feels different

A month of settling

On hiding our grief

Truth and honesty

Once the child of an alcoholic, always the child of an alcoholic

You can't edit a blank page

Read, write and keep going

Here's to engaging our core and quietly creating new pathways

Who am I?

Four blimmin' good reads (fiction)

Asking for help when you're a coper

Why I write about grief
