MY blog...
As the title says, welcome to my blog! This is the place to find out what's happening with PostScript as a business, but more often it's here to give you some entertainment, some knowledge, some insight on subjects I'm passionate about or, failing that, just somewhere to pass the time.
I want to update this blog regularly (workload permitting) so please come back often to read our latest posts (the latest one is always at the top). Please feel free to share them with your family and friends, comment and, if you like any of them, please hit the heart icon ♥️. Enjoy!
What Is Tone & How To Use It In Your Eulogy
When I sit down with new clients to begin shaping a eulogy for someone they've lost, their first concern is usually content . What stories should it tell? What moments matter most?

The Importance of Endings
When we gather to remember someone we love, words spoken in the present also become our bridge to the past, our way of holding onto memories that might otherwise slip away.

The Role of Eulogies in Modern-Day Grieving
Grief in the modern world has become both more public and yet, at the same time, more private than ever before. We live in an age where loss is often shared through social media posts, WhatsApp group chats and online memorial pages, yet the true act of mourning, of sitting with the reality of someone’s absence, has become harder to find space for. Amidst all this digital noise, one tradition has remained quietly essential: the eulogy. As a professional eulogy writer, I’ve ha
