Dear Lynda,
How are you going this week? It’s always a shock to receive news about someone passing. After my mum passed, which came after a series of other losses, I went to a grief support group. I did find it helpful and you realise so many people are going through something similar. There is also Griefline you could try calling which may feel easier than seeing a counsellor, if you would like to talk to someone. Their number is 1300 845 745.
I’m really sorry to hear about your brother too. I would say given things feel really hard right now it’s good to seek support and it is great you have reached out here. I hope you are ok and we are listening if you wish to chat further.
Take care,
Eagle Ray
