Has anyone signed up or had a grief buddy ? I’ve put my name down with TCF and should get one next month. Think it is a good idea. They match you with someone of similar bereavement and you get to speak with them weekly I believe or email/text for up-to a year.

I’ve thought about it but haven’t got around to it yet .
I think it can only be a good thing to speak to others who do truly understand .
Anything that will help is surely a good idea .

It’s going ok … I’m doing 9 to 4 for my 3 days then probably back to normal next week which is 9 to 630pm . I will gradually increase to maybe 6 more hours on a Thursday. It’s definitely a distraction but I am completely wiped out usually come lunchtime.
Thank you for asking , how are you doing? Xx

I can imagine .
It’s good to have a temporary distraction but then the reality hits you again like a sledgehammer .
I wonder if this is our lives now ?
I’m just existing really . I have bad days and then worse days . I feel in no man’s land at the moment because I’m not working and don’t really want to go back . But I will at some point I suppose .
My daughter keeps me going 🩷

I thought about it, but im not further enough down the line at the moment, but i know my friend had one via widowed and young and she really valued the 12 minths when she could speak to someone who got what she meant
Yes I’m the same just existing . I’m on my own with my 19 year old daughter. I had 5 weeks off but unfortunately the bills keep coming.
Just talking earlier to someone who asked why I would want a fingerprint of my daughter?!!! Words fail me.
I’m currently getting help from my local MP as the police because of new legislation can’t give me Chloe’s fingerprint they had on record. I just feel it’s been one unbearable thing after another.

I got the undertaker to get some prints, they tried at the morgue to get a handprint but couldnt as hand clenched ( thanks another image) but i got quite a few off undertaker. I had a cheap bracelet made but because they reduced the size of print it doesn’t look like a print, so ive put an expensive one on my credit card for a necklace it should arrive in next week or so. My husband cannot understand why i wanted one either but your print is unique just like he was
