That sounds good @Shaz51, I'm glad Mr shaz had a better day. And a roast chicken dinner is a treat.

I just noticed the scent of lavender here - a coincidence after mentioning it to you - I'd bumped a old lavender bag my late mother gave me. It hangs on a doorknob behind the kitchen door.

Hello @Shaz51,

I am so incredibly sorry to hear about your loss. You and your mother will be in my thoughts and prayers this evening.

I also thought that it may be beneficial to provide a referral pathway to the GRIEFLINE service that specialises in supporting people experiencing grief or loss. They can be contacted on 1300 845 745 and are available from 6am - 12am. Here is the link to their website: https://griefline.org.au/

In addition to this, our support centre are available for 1:1 counselling should you need extra support processing the grief.

Thank you

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

@Shaz51 i sometimes think of this poem when i learn of peoples loss. i hope it can bring you a little ocmefort my friend.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
