Navigating Grief

What happens when the person you love dies, and life is suddenly divided into a before and an after? How do you continue with work, family and the ordinary demands of everyday life when nothing feels ordinary anymore?

Since losing her partner James, to a brain tumour in April 2026, Erin has been navigating that difficult, disorientating landscape. Through her blog, Postcards From Grief, she writes candidly about the reality of bereavement — the loneliness, exhaustion and practical challenges, alongside the unexpected moments of kindness, connection and resilience.

Her writing offers a deeply personal reminder that grief isn’t something you simply “move on” from. Instead, it becomes part of learning how to live again — carrying the person you have lost with you, while slowly finding your way into a future you never expected.
