Foreword by Andy McMenemy, Clin.Hyp D.ThHyp (Dist) MHS (Accred)In the final stages of his bringing this book to life, I shared a message of support with Martin. It was an honest reflection on what I had been privileged to observe from the sidelines, and through many conversations with Martin, as he cared for and loved his mum along her fog-bound journey to that distant horizon and shores unknown where a new dawn awaited her.If you find yourself reading this as you are in a similar place to where Martin was, you are about to be lifted, inspired and awed by the story of a boy and his mum, because as men, when we are in the company of our mum, no matter our age, we always remain deep down, just that, a boy and his mum.When supporting grieving clients (in my capacity as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist) who have experienced a sudden loss, and find themselves held hostage to the 'If only I could have'. and 'What if I had.' I have often shared the reference point from author Jamie Anderson:"Grief, I've learned, is really just love.

It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."But not everyone who loses a loved one find themselves suffering from grief. When the loss is a long slow gradual affair, where they have the chance to say all the things they want to say and share all the love they have to share, that love finds its way home. every time!Through his loving heart, honest courage and the compassionate words, Martin tells the story of a son who loved his mum, and in the telling of his story through the pages of Another Cup of Tea he will, I am sure, be the light for many to find the strength they need to navigate their own journey in support of their loved ones who find themselves in dementia and on a foggy journey to a distant horizon and a new dawn, on an unknown shore. but who will be taking with them a heart filled with love.So, do yourself a favour, grab yourself Another Cup of Tea, and enjoy!.
