🧵 In Feb 2019 I worried my mental health was about to take a dip. I decided to post a daily #BeThankful on Twitter. No matter how bad my day had been, I’d find something to be thankful for that day. It changed my mindset. It made me look at the world a bit differently.

From the bottom of my heart. I am beyond grateful. I simply have nothing else to #BeThankful for these last 24 hours. Kindness. Generosity. Care. It’s not been found. But I did find this pic today of me wearing it which reminded me never to give up hope ❤️

The news about #DerekDraper and @kategarraway hit me hard today. Harder than I would've expected. I feel exceptionally lucky for people realising this. The message I received checking in. The colleague who pushed me on whether I was really ok when I dialled into a call earlier.

My 10 yr old & I didn’t get the opportunity to say goodbye to a valued husband and daddy. Read that again. Not a valued colleague. A valued husband and daddy. Trying not to get drawn in. Trying not to get angry. So instead I will just respectfully disagree. It was wrong.

7yrs ago we found out we’d lost our much wanted 2nd baby. Ironically enough, Mr C shared this last year & said “I find this a very moving work. I know this feeling.” It’s a sculpture called Melancholy and portrays the void that grief leaves us with. It’s stunning. #BabyLoss

Hit by a grief attack last night so had an early night. Just goes to show that you can have an inspiring & good day, then from what seems like nowhere the grief sneaks up & hits you. So, as I didn’t do one, I’ll do two today to help mindset & #BeThankful for that early night ❤️

The end of probably the toughest week of my life. The outpouring of love & support towards me & my family has been overwhelming. I can’t thank people enough. I can’t articulate just how much it’s meant. Not managed a #BeThankful since Mon but each day would have been the same 💙

These photos were taken nearly 30 yrs apart. The first time both my daughter & I saw @JDonOfficial in @JosephMusical . This musical & @LondonPalladium will always, always have a special place in my heart. Happy 40th birthday to Joseph The Musical 🌈 🐪 #DreamcoatChallenge

So I put a tweet out earlier today having found a #podcast which I really enjoyed. And while I’ve never met the people involved, they took the time to acknowledge me & say thank you. So my day 80 #BeThankful is for people who are nice... makes you feel all warm & fuzzy inside ❤️

Today’s a tough one. Days like these are inevitable. Our new normal is hard. I’m not going to pretend it’s not. I’m second guessing every decision I make much more than I used to. But as I sit reflecting, I’m going to #BeThankful for feeling able to admit this👇🏻 #ItsOkNotToBeOk 💚

Yesterday on what would have been Mr C’s 47th birthday, we had his Celebration of Life. And while I thought about writing something to mark the occasion, I’ve realised that my speech says everything I would have wanted to say so I’m sharing that instead 💛

Hadn’t realised quite how much I’d missed this view. Hadn’t realised quite how much I’d missed going to the office. I went for lunch with my team. I went out for dinner & drinks. I was hugged & didn’t cry (that’s today’s win). Today’s #BeThankful is for a day simply being me ❤️

On today's national #DayOfReflection , I feel incredibly proud & privileged to share that I've been appointed as an ambassador for @WidowedAndYoung . A year ago, I didn’t know anything about this charity and never dreamed I’d be in the position of needing to know about it...

I didn’t know if I could do it. Watching our first #MarlowePanto without Mr C was always going to be tough. But we laughed, we booed, we lunged, we did the bench dance & we wore our matching reindeer onesies. Thank you @marlowetheatre , we can’t wait to be back in person ❤️

I normally try & write a bit of context when I release a blog. But I’m fairly done in right now. I know I have a gazillion notifications to catch up on. And I will. I promise you that. I am beyond grateful. Thank you. A million times thank you ❤️

Found this old pic today. Feels more pertinent than ever that it’s covered in yellow hearts 💛 I’ll always #BeThankful for the love he gave us, I know there was just so, so much of it. Happy heavenly #ValentinesDay Mr C.

So that’s day one done. Another chapter in our new normal has begun. Miss C was absolutely fine, I was the one walking away from school in tears! And I loved the big cuddle I got when I picked her up ❤️ My #BeThankful has to be for that & her positivity about the day in general.

Mr C had such an eclectic taste in music that choosing songs for his funeral was not an easy task. I went through hundreds before choosing this song by @train . Felt incredibly fitting as we walked in. Thank you @GWillmer_PwC for doing this. So unbelievably special #ForCharlie 💙

Sat at an airport in tears watching the news. So incredibly sad about #HMTheQueen . This image will forever stay with me. A woman who did what was right for her country. Who served her people. The perfect example of a true leader despite her palpable grief. May she #RestInPeace 🕊

This is our last family selfie, taken a week before Mr C was rushed to ITU. Seems apt to share as I share this documentary on him & our #COVID19 story. It’s about an hour, so grab a cuppa while you listen! You may also need tissues... #LoveForTheLost 💛

A while ago I was contacted by @thisistheheff who’d seen our story on social media & wanted to make a documentary to share Mr C’s story more widely. Many family & friends contributed & it will go out at 10.30 today. If you’d like to listen, please go to:

I can’t quite believe I’ve just put Miss C to bed on her second #FathersDay without Mr C. She loves him. She misses him. There’s so much I still need to say to him. So I’ve done it in the only way I know how 💛 #LifeIsARollercoaster @WidowedAndYoung

Tonight I decided to #BeBrave & joined my first virtual @WidowedAndYoung quiz. I didn’t know what to expect. But everyone was just normal 😂 A group of people who have a sad thing in common but come together to support one another. And so I’ll #BeThankful to now be a part of it.

On Tuesday Miss C tuned in to the first #TechWeCan lesson with @KKing_5 & @BeckyPatel86 looking at #TechForFun . She's spent the last few days thinking about her superhero & would now like to present "Uni-Girl". A girl with a unicorn horn headband which has super powers! 🦄

Charlie Bear is home for Christmas 💛 I can’t lie. Packaging up and sending away Mr C’s Christmas clothes hurt. But I’m so incredibly pleased & have every reason to #BeThankful for the bear & blanket we received back from @LoveKeepCreate today. The festive attire lives on 🎄

This beautiful little painting arrived in the post today for Mr C. Such a thoughtful gesture from the lovely @louisehymers . It’ll take pride of place in our lounge ready for whenever he gets home. And everyday Miss C & I shall #BeThankful for it ❤️

My #BeThankful today is for the care & craftsmanship from @ashesscattering put into this ring featuring Mr C’s ashes. It’s exactly what I wanted & even when I made some changes, nothing was too much trouble. My most treasured piece of jewellery ❤️

Miss C & I have enjoyed a lovely couple of days. It’s been so nice to just do some arts & craft, watch TV & relax. Carving pumpkins was always Mr C’s job so we attempted doing this too. Have to #BeThankful for how they’ve turned out! Feeling a tad proud of ourselves 🎃🧙‍♀️
