About us

Hello, I’m Sarah, and I’m the creator of Still Here Everyday. The journey that led to the creation of this platform comes from a place of profound heartache and the desire to make a difference in the lives of others who, like me, are navigating the unbearable grief of losing a child.

My son, George, passed away at the age of 18 in December 2020. Losing him has been the most devastating experience of my life, and each day has been a challenge. But through the darkest moments, I realized something important: Grief doesn’t have a clear endpoint, and there is no “right way” to heal. What I needed was a way to channel my pain into something that could help not just me, but others who are walking this difficult road.

Still Here Everyday was born from that need—to create a space where grief, while heavy, can also be understood, shared, and managed. My hope is that this platform offers a sense of comfort and community for those who have lost a child. I wanted to put my energy into something positive, to help others understand that although our loved ones may no longer be physically with us, their memory and our love for them remain Still Here Everyday.

I personally struggle with the fact that after all these years, I still feel the same way as I did when I first lost him.  My world stopped and for a few months I had the support from friends . Family are always feeling the same grief in different ways and its not always easy to talk to them. Now I feel so alone in my grief, everyone always asks "How are you?" when I see them my answer is always I'm fine or okay.  When it reality I'm not ok, my world has collapsed. It's always easier to say that than actually tell them how I'm feeling.  What I really want is for people to understand that we are not okay or fine at all and never will be. I want to keep George's memory alive, as do we all.  I have created this space so we can share memories, pictures and stories and understand the emotions we all feel.

Each person’s journey through grief is unique, but I believe that by supporting one another, we can find ways to cope, remember, and honour our children in a way that brings some peace amidst the pain. I’ve poured my heart into this space, with the intention of creating resources, stories, and support for grieving parents and anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one.

Why This Matters:

Grief can often feel isolating, and it’s easy to feel like you’re alone in your pain. But through this website, I hope to remind you that you’re not alone. My goal is to offer a place where we can share experiences, learn from one another, and find strength in our shared resilience.

I know that the road ahead won’t be easy. But I truly believe that by creating a community where we can connect, honour our children, and offer each other hope, we can begin to navigate our grief, one day at a time. This platform is my way of turning pain into something meaningful, and I hope it brings some comfort to you, just as it has begun to help me. 

Thank you for being here, and for being a part of this journey.

With love and hope,

Sarah xx
