Announcing the first ever SOS Road Show hosts: Ian Taylor of Davenport Financial plans to work with Starting Over Show to create a unique local resource for people living or working in the Guildford area – legal & financial powwows, relationship & parenting salons, holistic healing and even start up business opportunities.
SOS Guildford will be an empowering resource for people going through divorce and breakup, offering free legal, financial and relationship advice, parenting coaches, holistic healers – all in one place to drop in and experience on a Thursday night.

The first host of the new SOS Road Show venture is Ian Taylor, a financial planner, and the main shareholder and director of Davenport Financial Management Ltd. Ian is a Chartered Financial Planner and a Resolution accredited and collaboratively trained pension and divorce specialist. He is also in the process of training with the ADR Group as a mediator and does an increasing amount of work with divorcing couples, looking at the financial impact of divorce and providing lifetime cashflow modelling for both parties as part of the mediation process.
Ian is divorced. His ex-wife and he managed their divorce without resorting to lawyers, and they are now good friends.
Ian is excited about being the first company to directly host a local SOS Road Show event: “I think the SOS Roadshow is an excellent idea, both to promote our services and those of other high quality professionals in the area, and, more importantly, to raise awareness of the positive benefits of dealing with relationship breakdown in an adult, non confrontational, way. The benefits of this approach for separating couples, and particularly for their children are immense.”
the slow death
July 6, 2010
I understand now how fighting and bitter fury
can provide such a warm cloak
a haven
from the tepid drawn out agony
of the slow death
The silent sickening wave through the diaphragm
that sticks in the throat
and lingers pathetically
deep down into the stomach refusing to budge
Memory flashes
the knowledge
that this present bereavement of another love lost without rhyme or reason
is the aftershock of that other heart
ripped to shreds years before
An echo
that refuses to quite extinguish.
Forever.
Rage-on, the violent protests and vanquish all integrity
and moderation. It is comforting to feel anger, and to hate.
Or there is this other way which I call love
Love will prevail any storm
and turn a broken heart into one that can receive love once more
But first the long slow death
must furrow through my soul
And I wonder what debris will remain
to call ‘me’, and all that may be left to glow
in the ashes
is love itself
