Tim has written about the loss of Naomi and his experience of managing to continue through the grief. He also talks about the help from Helen and Douglas House and also the support group for bereaved dads he started.

It’s been eleven years since Naomi died and I still get sudden waves of terrible grief. But in this group we find real comfort in one another. Some of us have been on real journeys, had relationships break-up and come back together, had more children,  all the things that happen in life. But this is a place where we can bring our relationships with our dead children – it just goes on.

The article was published in this Tuesday’s Telegraph and you can read the article here.

Walking For Rosie: Part Two, Why I’m Walking

We don’t fix grief. We don’t offer a map through it or a timeline out of it. We simply walk beside people, for as long as they need us. No end date on the support, just as there’s no end date on grief. So walking 55km, quite literally putting one foot in front of the other across the landscape I now call home, feels like the most honest expression of what SLOW is that I could have chosen. We walk alongside. That’s all. And it turns out that’s everything.

Walking For Rosie: Part One, A Reminder and a Release

But walking it for Rosie is different still. Recently I walked from Seaford Head to Eastbourne, via Birling Gap and Beachy Head, about 15 miles of the jaw dropping, spectacular coastline. My now backyard. And yet I saw it differently.
