“Grief is a journey not a destination”
Time to Talk Awareness Week (April 9-13). Across all our relationships we focus on hello – greeting our grandchildren with arms wide open, giving Mum a hug when we see her and we smile and wave to our friends. Goodbye is just as important as hello.
The Take the Time to Talk campaign encourages us to realise the value we put on hello, and to think about putting the same focus on goodbye; to allow our families the best opportunity to grieve well. As an FDANZ member Avenal Park Funeral Home can support your family to say goodbye.
Nigel and Christine Edwards and the staff offer a professional service to take some of the stress away from families.
Come and see us at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo - April 14–15, 2018 ILT Stadium Southland – encouraging people to “take the time to talk”. There is further information on www.fdanz.co.nz
For more information on what is available or you would like to discuss options, contact Nigel, Donna, Chris or Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home - 03 218 9021
Are you keeping it old school?
We know that things come back around, look at vinyl records!
Do you still use any old-school technology (like landlines or VHS tapes) at home?
Let us know in the comments.
Have you got a great recipe for feijoas?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for feijoas, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our March 2025 issue.
Favourite holiday finds
Hi there,
We're putting together an article on Kiwis' favourite holiday finds, and would love to hear about any great new places you discovered on your holidays and are happy to share.
It could be a beach you'd never been to before, a walking track you'd never tried, a town that pleasantly surprised you or a particularly good cafe, restaurant or bar. Please feel free to comment here or to message me directly. Please put 'NFP' in your comment or message if you do not want your name or suggestion published.
Thank you very much in advance.
