Doreen went for a walk to check up on the tree we planted and dedicated last year and shares this update:
'This is the beautiful setting in Baxter’s Park, of our tree of remembrance. It was planted last year in memory of those we have loved and lost. This particular spot was chosen because it is set back from the path, it is secluded and quiet and the perfect place to reflect or just enjoy the tranquil setting. I visited the tree yesterday and was so overwhelmed by the beauty that I wanted to share this with everyone. If you need peace and a place to be by yourself or just have quiet time with your loved ones then this truly is the spot. I did leave with a feeling of happiness and contentment.
We are reassured that despite the brown colour the tree is very much alive, it is in transplant shock, and will gain its green leaves again soon!'
Doreen also took a video whilst she was at the tree and you can hear from listening to it here just how peaceful it sounded.
With many of us staying home as much as we can, now, more than ever, we continue to need social contact. Please do get in touch if you are having to arrange a funeral and have questions, worries or concerns.
Additionally, if you or someone you know is struggling with grief then please pass them our details. We understand the impact grief has and are happy to offer listening support in these challenging times.
Our opening times are Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm and you can access our support by phoning 01382 458800, messaging via our Facebook page or send an email via our website.
