A wee intro about ourselves. Following on from last week, it has been just over 8 months since we lost our beautiful mum/nanny...plus the suicide of my sister. T = Talented  Topics include: not wanting to be here, so much to do regarding the funeral during a pandemic (COVID-19), most things done over the telephone, not wanting anything to be touched in my mum's house, suicide, dealing with anxiety, dealing with the pain caused by the death of loved ones, follow up when asking for help etc.  SUICIDE:- if you see any of the signs of someone wanting to take their own life, then please tell someone else in order for them to get help! If someone gives you a suicide note and asks you not to tell anyone, then please DO NOT keep this to yourself no matter what you promise, PLEASE TELL SOMEONE AS YOU COULD SAVE THIS PERSON'S LIFE! Follow Up:- Wellbeing centre - a waste of time.  Cruse Bereavement centre - will I receive counselling?
