How to Get Support

You might need help to fathom your grief, find a way forwards and to find hope.  
You might need help because you have lost hope, you are suffering or struggling and you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.
You might be in a position to recommend various different ways to find help – podcasts, books, stories.
Whatever it maybe, please either contribute or read what those who are and have been through the toughest of times recommend.

Quotes:

I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it feels like to feel absolutely worthless, and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that. Robin Williams
Being listened to is so close to being loved that most people cannot tell the difference. David Oxberg
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness
Our souls unite though worlds apart.
Grief never ends, but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love.
Keep climbing and keep on moving.
It shouldn’t have to happen to you for it to matter to you.
Kindness: Loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness. Andy Stanley
On my silent days, I miss you a little louder. C.C Aure
The older I get, the more I understand it is OK to live a life that others don’t understand.
Do things for people, not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.
You never know what someone is going through or been through. Be kind to whoever you come across, even if it is for a minute.
