In June 2024 my 45 year old younger suddenly passed away, the unbearable heartache the family are still experiencing is unfathomable, his daughter is struggling and i would like recommendations for a grief counsellor for us all when we are ready. We are in Edinburgh, thank you x

I lost my brother in June 2024 too. He had a daughter which he was then a single dad with her full time. It’s hard to navigate this loss when another little soul is here going through the same as us even if they display it in other forms.
I hope you find the answers you are looking for as I am too.
