The thumb is spot on
A lot of people miss this part
It was unusual to have four distinctive parts
In a newborn's hand

To me, she feels grown up
An adults hand
Wiping away old cremation ash
Letting in new vibrant colour
Which is what her memory has given us all
As her life continues to radiate beyond the stars.

MANDORA have always been huge supporters of Mearfest from the very beginning of our Northern events.
Duncan Binnie is the master movie man as he has created many Mearfest promotional videos and helped organise our events from afar.
Paul you rocked when you sang TAKE MY HAND before Mollys hand, I shall never forget the pure emotion in the room, it was palpable.
Darren, you are just so lovely and cuddly (Mrs M writing this by the way!!)
Sean thank you to you too as you rock them drums.

AND LIFE GOES ON FROM NEW ALBUM

MEETING A GODDESS OF THIS UNIVERSE

10/11/2018

1 Comment

Sunday Brian and I went to The Shard in London to meet with our very incredible IVF giver of life Penny, who with her incredible team all helped to create Amélie in Athens Greece just over 2 years ago....

SERUM IVF CLINIC are now hosting outreach clinics here in the UK, London and Dublin.
So more parents to be, from every walk of life, can have their first consultation
So many babies and new families have been created from that first consultation
I thank the universe for helping me find them in 2016
From our first consultation in Athens to transfer took 8 weeks, 37 weeks later Amélie was here
I now realise how very fortunate we were that our first attempt worked at age 49 years.

This had a lot to do with:

REDUCING WORKLOAD
RELAXING ABOUT THE WHOLE ISSUE OF BEING A USELESS MIDDLE AGED (!) WOMAN WHO CAN NOT DO WHAT A WOMAN IS MEANT TO DO, CHILD BARE
LOSING THE WEIGHT I HAD AMASSED THROUGH NOT BEING ABLE TO GRIEVE, I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO AS I HAD NEVER LOST SOMEONE SO PRECIOUS IN SUCH HORRIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES
LEARNING, THEN ALLOWING MYSELF TO GRIEVE
LETTING GO OF MY OWN TROUBLED CHILDHOOD AND FEARS OF BEING MY MOTHER
I WILL ONE DAY BE A MOTHER, A GOOD LOVING KIND MOTHER
TRUSTING ALTERNATIVE/MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS AGAIN
TALKING OPENLY AND SHARING WITH OTHERS
CHANGING MY RIDGED PERCEPTIONS AND VIEWPOINT OF THIS TERRIBLE EVENT
LETTING GO OF WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO MOLLY
UNDERSTANDING IT WAS NOT MY FAULT SHE DIED
ACCEPTING I AM A MOTHER TO MOLLY, SHE IS ALWAYS WITH ME, I FEEL HER EVERYWHERE AS SHE NOW GUIDES ME FROM BEYOND
BELIEVING THINGS DO HAPPEN FOR A GREATER MIND BENDING BONKERS REASON
THE UNIVERSE CHOSE US AND GAVE US BOTH A CHOICE, EITHER DIVORCE, OR MOVE FORWARD BY GIVING US AN IMPOSSIBLE MISSION, THROUGH SOUL DESTROYING HEARTACHE TURNING LOSS INTO LEGACY
SETTING UP A CHARITY EVENT THAT HELPED US WITH OUR GRIEF, WHICH HAS NOW HELPED OTHERS THROUGH A COLLECTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC, PHOTOGRAPHY, WORDS.
FINALLY, RELEASE ALL LOSS FROM THE PAST
WELCOMING A NEW AND HAPPY FUTURE

Grief can have a way of hiding deep within our bodies. On the outside we carry on as best we can, we are in disguise, people think we are coping OK and fine, but inside we have created a hurricane of blackness and depression, pockets of mental illness, self doubt, unimaginable heartache, where your whole body aches for that child, hatred of your body which has failed you.

Dads feel all this too, just as much, suffering in total silence, even though they did not carry the baby, they feel this soul crushing pain deep within their own masculinity. It really does take two people to make one life, everything is questioned, the answers can come in many subtle strange forms.

These feelings are all very real after a miscarriage or stillbirth.
I now know all this halts a new baby energy from coming through physically and spiritually, as our mounting pain blocks their path in every direction from the birthing experience we call life.

free yourself
NEVER GIVE UP

I found these words on SERUM IVF CLINIC Facebook page...

“Birth is not only about making babies.
Birth is about making mothers strong, competent, capable mothers
Who trust themselves and know their inner strength”
Barbara Katz-Rothman PhD

SERUM CLINIC finally made me a mother at 50 years of age.
A strong, competent, capable mother.
There are no words to describe my eternal gratitude.

Jacquilyn Stein and Ron Stein wearing his and hers matching
Molly-Shirts
Florida USA.

Ron Stein picked up on my Cloven Hoof post on facebook now we are friends.
Ron ran Lakeshore Record Exchange in the 80s and 90s in Rochester New York.
Apart from running a very successful record store he would host local gigs following signing sessions.
He has hosted such bands as Slayer, King Diamond, Savatage, Overkill, Kreator, Voivod,
Avenger, Raven & Metallica.
I still find it incredible that with within a second I can be in touch with Ron and his rich vein of rock and metal history.
His life is incredibly interesting and inspirational.

THANK YOU MR & MRS STEIN FOR SUPPORTING US.

Ravens first US tour with Metallica as support.
The gig was put on by Ron Stein the poster is now resting!! in a museum.
Heavy Metal History

Rekindle a lost dream
Ignite the fuel
Of shrouded hope
With smouldering embers
And sparks of gold
Fan high the Crimson Heavens
With incantations exalt
Fragile faiths forgotten
Embrace the forge of Molten Metal
Burnishing your soul
For all eternity.

TYSONDOG REVIEW

23/10/2018

1 Comment

Last but not least our incredible headliners TYSONDOG.
One of the original NWOBHM bands who as a much younger fan in the eighties I have followed very closely. For me it was a lifetime achievement to finally have the full line up, fired up and ready to play for us in their own area of the UK

Now with Bilk Gang from French Metal Kings GanG at the head of the pack, they came out snarling and straining at the leash, his performance was thrilling as always
Kevin Wynn headbanging his thick mop of hair ferociously throughout the entire set
Tysondog sealed our event with such an energetic and powerful performance all round
The crowd replied with equal energy clapping, screaming, fists in the air.
The sound throughout the day was music to our ears and as Tysondog launched into 'Don't let the Bastards grind you down' those of us still standing reached out to shake hands with all the band members

It's a shame we don't have more events like this in the UK to give these bands the platform they so richly deserve. Next year they will be playing the Grimm up North festival, where myself and Claire will do all we can to promote that spectacular day

Tysondog as a band and as individuals were truly, AWESOME!
Arriving at midday, they supported all the other bands playing throughout our event, by cheering them all on, bringing priceless items to raffle, mingling with mearfesters and enjoying the whole day as a solid metal team.
Having them headline, rounded off the whole day beautifully.
A unique day when we remembered our daughter Molly Mear and a day in history that British Heavy Metal can be very proud of

INFINITY/10

AWESOME!
