This is really painful @Razzle Isn't it sad how sometimes society finds grief so confronting. Have you ever heard of compassionate friends?
They have a centre in most states. Could be some good support for you, as their staff have lived experience which I tend to find really helpful. Sending you love.

@Jumpingcactus There is no shame in not being ok. I hope you can develop self-compassion around this 🙂

@Former-Member That’s a hard one! I can’t answer that. Welcome to suggestions.

@BlueBay Yes, good point - it might help you if you call again, to focus more on your feelings or give an abridged version of your story, just enough for the crisis supporter to understand your position?

@Former-Member Self compassion, I’ve never considered that. The only thing I do that makes me feel ok is to buy presents for the Wishing Tree. Always buy for a 9yo boy, and I also buy for a woman, something I know I’d love to receive. I can’t stand the thought that someone else is missing out, not feeling cared for, I know how it feels and I don’t want anyone else to feel that way.
