The Journey of For Peaches - How it all started
Have you ever been in the position where life hurt so much that you didn’t know what to do, didn’t know how to feel, or even know how to be?
Well I have been there? I drank and slept the days away for weeks, nearly months, after I had to say goodbye to my unborn child - she was a couple of days off being 9 weeks gestation.
This loss was whole heartedly the worst and most traumatic thing that had happened in my life, and with that was also one of the hardest things that I have ever had to overcome. I mean, how is it that you can ever be ok after losing something, someone, so special and sacred to you.
Nothing was helping my pain, not alcohol, not food, not exercise, not even sleep. Maybe I needed to find a new way?
So, one day, I just happened to find a pencil and sketch book and wondered what I could draw. I found myself a sunny spot within the front porch of my country home, where I looked at the paper and the pencil I had collected. Now what? A deep breath and a sigh later I hovered my pencil over the page and started to draw lines, shapes and shading as it entered my mind – I was intuitively drawing.
How amazing it was to be drawn into this magical space where there was only me, paper and a pencil with all these images appearing. My mind was finally at ease, was clearer, was content.
Deciding to draw for a purpose came next. I knew in my heart of hearts I wanted to draw something for bubby – for Peaches. I sat quietly in my usual space, and there it was, I had to design a piece of jewellery that I could always have on me to remember her by. A pendant on a necklace, something that will hang low and was about the size of a 50c piece – how calming it felt to finally have purpose again. Let the designing begin.
The design process was truly amazing! It supported me to grieve, how it allowed me to sit into my feelings, and assisted me to be ok with what had transpired. It helped me find answers for some pretty big questions that I had. It was through this process that I was able to really reflect into who I was and what I truly wanted out of life. Magic!
With the design process done, I couldn’t wait to show off my new creation with my friends and family; and explaining to them about my journey. To my surprise they loved the idea, even that much so they wanted their very own pieces designed and created for their loved ones past. I was humbled at their expression of interest.
Well just look at that!! It looks like I had found my calling... a calling to support those going through loss, to help them channel their emotions into something very special and sacred, a piece that could help them connect with their loved on passed.
Im so blessed to be walking this path, to have travelled through the times that have got me to where I am now. Travelling that journey has equipped me to appreciate those that are going through similar times. I want to work with you to support you through this time, to help you create something truly sacred and memorable. I look forward to learning more about your journey in order to create that special piece for you
I miss you, I love you!
How For Peaches can work with you
To go through the loss of a loved on is one of the hardest things I personally think someone will ever go through. If we don’t take time out to really process how we feel, then how can we truly move past it?
This is where For Peaches comes in! I want to work with you to support you through this life changing event in your life, by guiding you through the design process of a special personalised piece of jewellery.
This process involves us spending some one on one time together to really be in the moment for us to understand what it really is that we are creating. This might take a bit of time, but in the end, when you know what it is, its like a penny drops and the whole thing just falls into place. Its just like magic!!
Once the design process is complete, I will forward to my manufacture to get your piece CAD 3D designed and printed and then manufactured. Don’t worry, you are going to be kept well informed of the entire process to confirm you are completely happy with the design.
For Peaches is about assisting you to go through your loss, in order to find the new life that is desperately trying to come to the forefront and meet you.
Come design with me, lets work through your own situation and see what beautiful and majestic things come to the surface for creation.
