How to move forward

[Midnight01]

It has been 6 weeks since my baby passed, I been having a hard time trying to be proactive again. I still haven’t called a funeral home to discuss my daughter’s cremation because I’m still finding it hard to come to terms with the reality that she’s gone.

What can I do to help myself with this grieving process and to bounce back to myself again?

Hello Midnight01

I am so so sorry for what has happened

My thoughts are with you

take as much time as you need to grieve and take that step when u are ready

lots and lots of self care and distraction can help…I lost someone recently too not a child but I can somewhat relate

please reach out whenever u need as the Beyond Blue support Service via Telephone is available 24/7

i hope this helps
