MICA Travels are a group of family and friends that are dedicated to raise awareness of Bile duct cancer and sepsis, two illnesses that claim 1000’s of lives each year and are barely known about. I lost my wife; our sons lost their mother and many others lost a dear friend.

THE MENTAL TORMENT OF GRIEF

Posted in Coping With Bereavement by Mike Hall

Just a few things that the mind refuses to give up on so that your shattered heart can somehow function a little easier.

Ickworth House

Ikworth 18th August 2021

Well as promised, more rambling about my ramblings, this time I’m back at Ickworth again. This is my second solo trip out, so what! I hear you say, well it’s all about my little steps along my grief journey.
