Short blog post

Continuing Dad’s Story

After I published my last blog about Dad’s journey with vascular dementia, he died peacefully the following day. He was asleep, calm, and not alone — someone was holding his hand as he went. It was a gentle ending to a long and changing journey.

Dad’s funeral will take place on 9th February in his home village, a place that holds so many of his stories.

Although Dad is no longer physically with us, I don’t feel that this is the end of writing about him. I want to share how I used reflexology with him in his final months, and to write about his funeral — not just the day itself, but the memories, the stories, and the man behind them.

This blog will continue, as a wayof remembering, reflecting, and honouring Dad’s life.
