Sorry for your loss Sandra, and condolences to your husband and his family. I totally understand, I've had a lot of death in my closest circle of family and friends. You should of course still go to Glastonbury, you need and deserve to do something for yourself x
I love this therapeutic process in scratch off art of revealing beauty out of darkness. Passings have us revisit our personal beliefs about death. Mine are simply a passing through a door to another dimension, but I understand what is difficult, is the dealing with belongings and memories and inaccessibility in connecting with the person no longer sharing the same dimension. Feelings aren't always clear, being muddied by uncertainty as we don't have personal confirmations of those beliefs until it's our own time to go. Processing always takes time. (maybe design a little ritual to perform in Glastonbury marking this period).
P.S. I wrote a poem to read at my parents funeral, but in the end I couldn't do it without breaking up, so I had my niece read it...and she teared up a bit. I would like to recommend during this process involving others that you wear, or have on you a wrist bracelet of meditation beads and make use of it feeding the beads one at a time through your fingers to help process distress. I find when I'm stressed, that simple action helps refocus my discomfort on my breathing and moving it away from the distress. Good luck. And try to enjoy Glastonbury, keeping all things in proper perspective.
Thank you so much Robin for your lovely words and taking the time to type your comments. It’s a good idea about the ritual in Glastonbury, I was planning one anyway and will just incorporate this into it. I hope there is something on the other side and certainly I have personal experience of contact from spirits. Thank you again, much appreciated ❤️
Oh Sandra I really feel for you. Please stand your ground on visiting the chapel of rest. You both must do what you are comfortable with and feeling forced to do this will only make you feel under greater pressure. Take your time and each day as it comes. You are already organising yourself regarding the funeral trip and the cats so please don't think you're not coping. Glastonbury will be amazing for you and give you the strength you need to move forward. Do not feel guilty about it. As for the reading, you don't have to stand. Do it your way and be proud. Sending love, hugs and Blessings x
I’m sorry for your loss, Sandra. And I understand how heavy this all can be, and the expectations. I’m much the same way. I think it’s wonderful you still get to visit Glastonbury; you deserve it ❤ 🙏
So sorry to hear about your troubles Sandra. Such a sad time. I hope despite the pressure you are able to do what feels right and comfortable for you. I totally get what you said about feeling a presence around you or even touching you, this happens to me often.. it can be unsettling ❤ So pleased you are still able to get to Glastonbury I understand how much that means to you. You do what you need to do sweetie 😘 💖
I'm so sorry for your loss and that your are in a dark space. I'm so happy for you that you are still able to go to Glastonbury. We all need to do things that heal and fill our souls with light. I'll miss hearing from you, but take all the time you need to heal ❤. I can't wait to see your video of Glastonbury. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and Glastonbury is on my bucket list.
Sandra ❤🩹 My sincere condolences to you and your family. 💐 I can feel your love and connection for Glastonbury each time you mention it. I am glad to hear you will be taking the trip. I'm certain there will be messages and healing there for you. 💫 It saddens me to hear that you are being forced to do things that you aren't comfortable with. I 100% can understand and respect you not wanting to cause any issues within the family setting, especially during such a tender time, however I will echo others down here in the comments section and encourage you to do what's right for you and not what someone else wants or expects of you. If you are not comfortable attending a funeral, you should never be forced to do so. That's a very personal choice. I know that dealing with family can be very challenging and uncomfortable, but please stand up for yourself if you are able to. You are deeply loved and cared about out here in the community. I am sending you loads of love and strength to get through these difficult times. 🫂Please reach out if you ever need someone to talk to. You are never alone. 💗
@@RootsAndWaves Ang thank you so very much for your lovely kind words. Also thank you for saying I can reach out to you if needed, it’s very kind and I do appreciate it ❤️
I am so sorry for yours and your husband's loss Sandra. Death is not something that is in any way, shape or form pleasant to deal with and it is totally understandable how you feel. The loss of your mother in law will affect you both in different ways. I was in the exact same position when my Mother in law passed away. I did go in support of my hubby, but like you so rightly say it ends up being the last image you have of her. It is truly a traumatic time for both of you. You do need to ensure that you look after yourself and do what you need to do to stop that Black Dog of depression from pulling you down. If you ever need to chat just reach out. That's no problem at all. That is a lovely deck that Simon sent to you. Enjoy using it. You take care my friend. Remember, do what you need to do for you, and as Robin has suggested maybe a small ritual in her memory when you go to Glastonbury might help you. E xxx
Thank you Elaine for your lovely kind words. I am planning a ritual in Glastonbury anyway to include all who have passed from my family and Simon’s as I will be with him in Glastonbury. Thank you also for saying I can reach out if needed, very kind of you and much appreciated ❤️xx
@@SpiritofAvalon that's no problem at all you are always welcome to reach out here. You have a lovely time with Simon and rest, relax and build up your energy for the funeral and all that it entails. It's never an easy time. Please give Simon my love and both of you give each other a hug off me. Hopefully, one day we will see you both here in Ireland or I will manage to catch up with you both in Glastonbury. Sending much love ❣️
I didn't go to either of my parent's funerals. I think funerals are for the living who want it; but for me, funerals are a forced catharsis I can't handle, so why force myself to go through it? I'd give my husband all the support I could but tell him I couldn't go through the actual funeral. Why would he want you to suffer through it? But it's easy for us all to comment on other people's lives without living them. Good luck with your choices.
Condolences for your husbands loss, and im so sorry for everything you're going through. Depression and anxiety are such awful shadows to have coming over you. Im glad you can still go to Glastonbury. It really will help your soul being there. Sending hugs and love your way 💜
Big hugs to you, Sandra. It's all so much to feel and process through. You do whatever you need and want to do. 🩷🩷 And Glastonbury will be so good for your soul. ✨🙏🥰🫂 Big hugs!
Sending you and your husband my heartfelt condolences ❤❤❤ When I was asked to simply read what someone else wrote at my beloved sister-in-law"s service, I managed to get through it by focusing on an object at the back of the room. I couldn't look directly at anyone. Perhaps you could try that?
This sounds like so much to be dealing with and I hope everything goes smoothly. My condolences to your family and please give Merlin extra scritches for me. I can't even imagine what you must be going through. Take all the time you need. We'll be here when you're back.
So very sorry for your loss Sandra. This video touched my heart and I really had lots of empathy for how you are feeling right now. I can understand your trepidation in having to read something out but you have the softest sweetest voice I am sure you will do very well. Just do what you are led to do ... your heart will always lead you. Glastonbury is so special to you, I feel you will get some healing there. Much love to you at this time x
Eyup Sandra 😊 First of all my deepest condolences to you and your family at this time. I've been enjoying your videos for a long while now and don't normally post but felt compelled to here. As others have said how each of us deal with death is totally personal, you shouldn't feel pressured into doing anything that you're uncomfortable with that's not healthy for you at all. I totally understand why you might feel obliged to do the things that your partner is asking of you but it's very unfair for someone to put that sort of pressure on a person and it can result in creating trauma around those situations- in this case death. Death is like being naked, some people are very private about it, others feel quite comfortable doing it around other people. Personally I've never liked the communal showers at gyms or swimming baths for example and if someone pressured me into getting naked in front of a bunch of other people I'd feel vulnerable and that would be extremely traumatic for me, forcing or pressuring someone to grieve in front of a full funeral hall and do a speech is similar. Just like some people are uncomfortable with seeing other's wandering around naked and so they shouldn't be forced to see that just like nobody should be pressured into visiting the chapel of rest if that makes them uncomfortable either as it can be traumatic. I hope this hasn't come across as insensitive that was not my intention, more just to show how extreme being pressured into doing these things could affect you and your relationship with death long term. If your partner wouldn't tell you to shower in public or make you to watch people in the nude then he shouldn't pressure you into these things either as the results are potentially just as traumatic. You seem like the most lovely and sweet human being, I hope that this all works out OK as can be expected for you and I hope that your visit to Glastonbury brings you some comfort, I look forward to seeing yours and Simon's vlog you two are brilliant together you always bring a smile to my face 😊 ❤️ X

My condolences to you and yours over this loss. You have said many things that are part of all our reactions to loosing a person of meaning in one's life. We each process differently and have to discover what works for us. Sending comforting thoughts your way. Be at peace.
I am so sorry this is all happening to you. I feel sad for you there is so little understanding for your feelings and anxiety. Wishing you strength and I hope Glastonbury will help you cope a,little better. ❤
I am so sorry Sandra and family 🙏🏻🙏🏻It is so hard loosing a loved one no matter how close you were. You still have feelings for them. When she touched you maybe she was trying to say "it's okay Sandra, I'm okay"Don't worry" You should definitely go to Glastonbury it will make you feel better and recharge your batteries. Then you can go say a nice poem for your Mum in -law. Definitely get some anxiety medication first.I lost most of my family from fall 2021 to spring 2024 and i fell down a rabit hole of grief and sadness. Try not to let that happen to you. Our loved ones would want us to continue on and try and be happy. Much love to you and your family at this difficult time ❤❤
Sandra I’m so sorry that you are being made to go to the chapel of rest. I think that’s a very personal thing for someone to decide themselves. I didn’t want to see my Mum but I respect others who say it helps. It must come from you x I’m sending you lots of love xx 😘 oh and yes Glastonbury is definitely a must! You’ll need that recharge! ❤❤ xx
So sorry for your loss. If you really don’t want to go to the chapel of rest, maybe you could go with your husband but wait outside, that way it’s a compromise and you’ll be there for support? Sending lots of love at this difficult time. Glastonbury with be the quality time for yourself that you need I’m sure. 💜😘
So sorry to hear you're going through a really tough time at the moment. Sending lots of love. Glastonbury is just what you need and as you say something to look forward to. Take care of yourself. ❤️❤️
I am sorry for the loss of your mother-in-law. Grief is a difficult companion to journey with, isn't it? I had a big loss at the beginning of this year. I find that initially, for the first few weeks or months, I'm numb. It makes it hard to grieve with the majority of people who are openly grieving. Best I can say is don't avoid it. Let yourself be where you are from moment to moment. I don't know what my abilities would fall under what category, but I have had many experiences with those passed on. Remember when you feel those energies, that you knew this person. You KNOW this person. They are in another form but it's still them and they aren't trying to make you uneasy. You are safe in their company. Take care of yourself first and foremost. Don't worry about reading at the funeral. No one is at their best at a funeral and people are very gentle and understanding of that. Have they/you picked a poem, or do you have to decide that as well? A beautiful one is "In Lieu of Flowers" by Shawna Lemay. (I recommend it as a read anyway). We all need to take time off from things when we are going through grief. Make sure not to completely disengage from people but don't push yourself too hard either.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. And I'm especially sorry that you're being made to do things you don't want to do. As you know, I'm here if you need to talk. We'll all be here whenever you do return. 🌺 (It's nice and calming to watch you work on your scratch art.) 💚
Very sory for your families loss Sandra. Glastonbury sounds like a super tonic to look forward to, life is short, you have to seize those moments of enjoyment 💛✨️✨️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Grief hits people in different ways but how you’re feeling is perfectly normal. Accept that you won’t feel quite yourself for a while and give yourself time to process it all. Hope you’ll be ok x
Sending you my condolences, hugs, and love Sandra and to your husband. We all grieve in different ways, and sometimes, it's hard for others to understand, but they don't have to. We show our love and support in many ways. The chapel of rest is totally an individuals decision and no-one elses. The artwork is one of the most calming things to do and it looks so beautiful. Do you Sandra, your heart is pure ❤ Going to Glastonbury will empower you, its a place to let go and be free. Where can I get this artwork from, it will do me some good too.? Take care of you sweet Sandra xx.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. The scratch art is actually called Picture Etch and I got mine from The Works but I think Amazon also do them ❤️
I understand exactly how you feel Sandra. Don't feel bad about anything. Take your time and deal with what you have to and only come back when you're ready. Sending you good vibes ❤
I am so sorry Sandra 🪻 I send my condolences to you & your husband. I also feel the need to say that you should not be told to do anything, ever & especially when you are unwell as you are now. Standing up at a funeral is terrifying to a lot of people including myself & NO ONE should be forced to see the deceased person! I hope that you are not forced to do either thing. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Glastonbury (of course you must go). sending hugs.
Sorry for your loss lovely Sandra. It is so tough....it is four years this week since I lost my Mum and my Depression and Anxiety is high too so totally see where you are coming from. (An unexpected hospital stay of my own hasn't helped, but that is beside the point!!) I think it is fair enough if you don't want to go to the Chapel of Rest. I had to go with my brother to see my Mum and I hated it. Sometimes it is hard to balance what you need to do to protect yourself along with what is expected or needed to support others. Believe me, I know! Take your time, do what you need to do. If you want to record yourself in more little monologues like this, then please do that as we can hear you and offer support. Oh and I love the idea of doing your own little ritual in Glastonbury as that will be perfect. Wish I was closer and knew you better to give you a big hug xxx
You deserve to go to Glastonbury - don't give a second thought to anyone that might think that's off. I know that trip will be just what you need. 🍂

I’m so sorry for your loss. Grief hits people in different ways but how you’re feeling is perfectly normal. Accept that you won’t feel quite yourself for a while and give yourself time to process it all. Hope you’ll be ok x
So very sorry for your loss Sandra. Glastonbury is your soul home and the perfect place to fill your spiritual cup. Take care my dear ❤
Thank you so much Sunique ❤️
Sorry to hear of your loss Sandra, sending you heaps of love and hugs ❤
You may find glasto healing. I do too xxx
Sending you my condolences, hugs, and love Sandra and to your husband. We all grieve in different ways, and sometimes, it's hard for others to understand, but they don't have to. We show our love and support in many ways. The chapel of rest is totally an individuals decision and no-one elses. The artwork is one of the most calming things to do and it looks so beautiful. Do you Sandra, your heart is pure ❤ Going to Glastonbury will empower you, its a place to let go and be free. Where can I get this artwork from, it will do me some good too.? Take care of you sweet Sandra xx.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. The scratch art is actually called Picture Etch and I got mine from The Works but I think Amazon also do them ❤️

I understand exactly how you feel Sandra. Don't feel bad about anything. Take your time and deal with what you have to and only come back when you're ready. Sending you good vibes ❤
Sandra I am sending lots of love to you and the family, please explain to your husband how you feel, hopefully he will understand. Take care lovely 💜
Sending love. You do you xxx
I'm very sorry to hear this, Sandra.
I have emailed you. It's headed 'Glastonbury' in case it ends up in your junk folder.
@@sailorannie8376 thank you so much, I will check my emails ❤️
Sending much love Sandra ❤❤❤
I am so sorry Sandra 🪻 I send my condolences to you & your husband. I also feel the need to say that you should not be told to do anything, ever & especially when you are unwell as you are now. Standing up at a funeral is terrifying to a lot of people including myself & NO ONE should be forced to see the deceased person! I hope that you are not forced to do either thing. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Glastonbury (of course you must go). sending hugs.
@@DebraDarkandTwisty thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
Sorry for your loss lovely Sandra. It is so tough....it is four years this week since I lost my Mum and my Depression and Anxiety is high too so totally see where you are coming from. (An unexpected hospital stay of my own hasn't helped, but that is beside the point!!)
I think it is fair enough if you don't want to go to the Chapel of Rest. I had to go with my brother to see my Mum and I hated it. Sometimes it is hard to balance what you need to do to protect yourself along with what is expected or needed to support others. Believe me, I know!
Take your time, do what you need to do. If you want to record yourself in more little monologues like this, then please do that as we can hear you and offer support.
Oh and I love the idea of doing your own little ritual in Glastonbury as that will be perfect.
Wish I was closer and knew you better to give you a big hug xxx
