Re: Sad

I am so deeply sorry for your loss @Leeanne1 

 

We are all here for you, though if you need to talk to someone with more responsiveness or immediacy than the forums is able to provide, then I encourage you to reach out to Griefline or perhaps Beyond Blue

 

If you need more crisis support you can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14  or Suicide Callback Service on  1300 659 467

Re: Sad

Yeah, it's so hard to see our loved ones hurting @Leeanne1 

 

Do you have any particular fears around the funeral that would be helpful to voice here?

@Ru-bee 

My concern is my children especially the ones that don't talk

Re: Sad

That's understandable, it's such a hard thing to go through @Leeanne1 do you have much family or friend around you to support both you and the children?

Re: Sad

I'm glad to hear that you'll each have those supports, as well as each other, during this time @Leeanne1 

 

I'll be heading off for the evening shortly, if you need to keep on talking I encourage you keep reaching out here as others are around and here to support you.

 

Thinking of you and your family ❤️
