While I’m so very sorry for your loss @JournoStephen it is apparent that you were extremely fortunate to have had one of the best, to have been surrounded by love,  have a lifetime of precious memories and had the chance to say goodbye.  So my message is clear to everyone, as I go through this very same grief at the very same time, listen to every anecdote, even if it’s the 50th time you’ve heard it, surround yourself with love and talk about everything including death, because the most painful things in grief are the unsaid words and the empty chair.
Shine bright Mr James Daisley, you have been loved.
Shine bright my dear mammy, you gave me a good life and I helped you have a good death and for that I am extremely proud.
