When someone you love dies,
nothing can prepare you for the moments after.
The future you imagined is suddenly gone.
'We' instantly becomes 'Me'.
Everyday life feels heavy, confusing, lonely.
The quiet evenings. The weekends that feel too long. The birthdays and celebrations that look different.
The little things you still want to tell them.
The world keeps moving.
And sometimes the hardest part isn’t just missing them.
It’s feeling like nobody truly understands what it is like to rebuild a life you never expected to live.
One of my biggest struggles after Paul died was that I didn’t want to imagine a life without him… but I knew I had to find a way forward.
I had to work out what life after loss was going to look like.
I wasn’t looking for therapy.
I wasn’t looking for another grief support group.
I wasn’t looking for a place where I only talked about losing Paul.
I wanted somewhere I felt understood.
A place where I could meet people who truly got it, find moments of joy again, learn to laugh without feeling guilty, and build friendships with others who knew what it meant to lose someone they loved.
That’s why I created Letters After Loss.
Because grief can exist alongside creativity, laughter and moments of joy.
You are still here.
And your life is still allowed to contain beautiful moments.
This isn't a grief group.
It's a space to find a life after loss.
Letters after Loss is a monthly membership to help you find those glimmers of joy, creativity, and connection.
A letter to look forward to each month, written just for you
A creative moment to help you find those moments to make you smile
A chance to try something new
A reason to connect and make friends
Why Letters?
Because there is something special about receiving a letter written just for you.
In a world of quick messages and social media updates, a handwritten letter says:
“Someone took the time to think about me.”
After loss, that feeling can mean so much.
There are thoughts, memories and everyday moments we carry that don’t always have somewhere to go.
A letter gives them a place.
Through Letters After Loss, you will be connected with another woman who understands what it means to lose a partner.
Someone who knows
That some days feel heavier than others
That ordinary moments can suddenly bring a wave of emotion
That missing someone and still trying to live your life can happen at the same time
Why Creativity?
Because sometimes grief needs more than words.
Sometimes you need something to bring you back into the present moment.
A few months after losing my partner Paul, I had a day where my anxiety was through the roof.
My thoughts were racing. Everything felt overwhelming.
So I sat down and built Lego.
And for a while, my brain was quiet.
That small moment reminded me that creativity can be a much needed anchor during difficult days.
It doesn’t matter whether you are painting, crafting, writing, reading, learning something new or simply trying something different.
It's about finding your moment of calm despite the storm.
The goal isn't to create something that is perfect.
The goal is to give yourself a moment.
Where grief isn't the only thing you feel
Letters After Loss is built round finding these little glimmers throughout the month.
It's a place to share, reflect and connect.
Because sometimes what we need most after loss isn’t advice.
It’s someone who understands.
This isn’t a grief group.
Letters After Loss is not therapy.
It isn’t somewhere you have to talk about your loss.
And it isn’t about forgetting the person you love or moving on.
It is a community built around connection, creativity and creating moments of life alongside grief.
Because after loss, we don’t just need somewhere to talk about what happened.
We also need somewhere to remember that we are still people with interests, hopes, curiosity and dreams.

Letters After Loss was born from lived experience
I know what it feels like to face unexpected loss
To wish there was a safe space to simply be without needing to explain
To find people who simply 'get it' too.
I realised that what I needed wasn’t another place to be told how to grieve.
I needed connection.
I needed creativity.
I needed little reasons to look forward.
I needed reminders that I was still here.
Letters After Loss was created from that need.
A place where women can honour the person they love, connect with others who understand, and gently find moments of life again.
A place where you become part of a community where your memories are valued, your story is understood and you have something to look forward to each month.
Because life after loss is not about leaving love behind.
It is about learning how to carry it with you.
Welcome to Letters After Loss
Because no one should feel alone in this.
