Hey @Sars11899
Welcome to the Parents and Carers forums!
I'm very sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine how difficult and challenging this must be for you and your son and I am really glad that you have found our forums.
It must be an incredibly difficult for you to be dealing with this grief whilst also having to take care of your son, it takes an immense amount of strength and your son is very lucky to have you.
I know you mentioned that you are struggling at the moment and was I wondering if you felt comfortable sharing more about this with us?
I was also wondering whether you have any other supports at the moment to help take care of you as well as helping with your son, whether it be a friend, family member, GP or mental health professional? It's important that you are receiving all the support available to you for both yourself, as well as your son.
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
