  • Thank you - I was going to call but lines 8-8 do will call tomorrow. It’s still very raw and they’ve been amazing but in the last 24 hours their grief has become more upset and towards one other. 

  • You are so wise seeking help for them . It is very important.

    I have asked admin to have a look at the best way to get your children the support they need . My friend died during lockdown and there was counselling available through our local hospice for her children . Hopefully the team will know the right resources depending on their age .

    Its a lot for you all to process . Hope your getting some support too .

    Take care ,

  • Hi, I'm in the same situation my son is 9 and his dad has just died from stomach cancer a week ago but he's not really dealing with it and is very hyper at the moment. May I ask how old your husband was?

    Sending my love
