Night Shift

Sorry for your loss @Decadian 💐💜 is imagine it never gets easier.
Hi @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope👋💜😊how has your day been?
@utopia. I'm finding the same thing. I neat to do @Faith-and-Hope running raids even on the forum now too. I'm not keeping up much anymore but still here.
Hiya @Former-Member. I hope you're ok as you've been absent I think
@Former-Member How was the tea? Can't spell that l word and predictive text has spat the dummy at my attempts. 😆 I hope your day has got brighter @TAB
Hoping your day has gone well with rehearsals @Kurra

My efforts - cleaned kitchen, cut flowers to brighten inside house, lit candles - not started sorting my room to find birth certificates. I still have boxes half unpacked in my bedroom from the move 5 months ago🤔😳 and I only have one job to do today.

Sorry I have typos everywhere and skipped words in that post. Luckily you're all clever enough to decipher it😝

Hi @Former-Member@utopia@Former-Member@Shaz51@TAB

Thanks so much for all of your kind thoughts - they really help

My aunt was a really sweet and loving person - the last time I saw her was at my mother's funeral last year - and she was frail then - and not at all with it - I hadn't seen much of her in the last few years but when all of us were younger we saw each other often. She and I were actually pregnant at the same time - I miscarried early and she gave birth prematurely and my little cousin died when she was 2 days old.

But she has been in a nursing home for about 18 months give or take - and not easy to talk to - I sent flowers but didn't visit - after my mother this was not easy.

It has brought back a lot of stuff about my mother - I have no doubt I will recover from my aunt dying and I can keep in touch with my cousin - I will send her flowers tomorrow - and I have left a message on my uncle's phone - that little family is close and I am glad they are supporting each other.

Life must go on - now I have had 6 family deaths since 2005 and two of these were my parents -

Your support means everything to me

Decadian

So sorry to hear about your Aunt @Decadian. Take care of yourself. Let us know if you need any extra support. Big hugs

Thanks @Former-Member

I appreciate your offer of help

I have been looking for a Grief Councellor on line - but I think it would be better to ring tomorrow when people are likely to be available

It feels very bleak looking into all of this - a lot of it is about my mother - at least I know this - I have 4 Medicare Visits left for this year

If anyone can give me the name and phone number of a suitable councellor that would be wonderful -

Decadian

Yeah you're right, might be best to give them a call tomorrow. Otherwise if you need to talk to someone in the meantime there's always Grief Line?

Unfortunately I'm not sure of any grief counsellors personally, however whenever I need to look for someone specific I usually access Find a Psychologist and enter in the kinds of concerns they have experience in. Is that what you've been using to find someone?

I can leave a note for tomorrow's mod if you like @Decadian, maybe they will know if there are any other options.
