CRUISE BEREAVEMENT SERVICE say i am too upset for counselling. please help?
I lost my daughter a while ago to cancer and i just cant cope! I feel every day is such a struggle to do anything. I dont go out anymore, i dont answer my door or phone and my heart just aches for my daughter. I cant cope with the fact that she has died and when my gp referred me to cruise they came round to assess me and said i was too upset for counselling and when i get myself sorted give them a ring and they will come back and reassess. I hurt every day for her, i cry all the time, i dont know what to do with myself. i just want my daughter and no one else. why did she have to leave me? my ex husband is being a right nasty evil git and the things he has done to me are unbelievable and unforgiveable too. please please can someone tell me what i can do? i am taking antidepressants and they dont seem to work. Every day i just wake up and want her back and nothing else matters. i have even started to think about taking my own life to see if that takes me to her, who can help?
i really dont know how i can be too upset for counselling when that is what they are there for. I have absolutely no confidence in ringing people or approaching them myself. in fact i am struggling to do this but i have a good friend sitting next to me pushing me. she has tried to get help but they say i have to ask for it. i just want my daughter back and i know in the real world i cant but i dont know what to do anymore.
Help for a funeral please.?
My father in law is dying and we have been told that he has days, if not hours, to live. He lives in New Zealand and the funeral will be held there. However, we are in the UK with no hope and getting the money to go out there so we are holding a remembrance service here in the UK for the family and friends here. I have arranged the church etc but I am unsure of what needs doing.
Do I need an order of service? What would it need to include? what is the correct funeral ettiquette? Please help, I have only ever been to two funerals and can not remember much about them.
Thanks
Sorry, I think I may have caused confusion here. I have not booked the church as yet but have spoken to the vicar as it is not our local parish and he has agreed to hold the remembrance service and say prayers in the normal service. Basically I am trying to get everything done that I can before the dreaded news so that I can give my hubby and step-daughter my full attention and support.
Funeral speech at my Grandads funeral. Don’t know what to say. Any help please?
My grandad died on wensday morning and i have to attend his funeral on friday. I want to say a few words at the service but I have no idea what to say. My cousin is also saying something but she is reading a poem. I want to say something else but i don’t have a clue on what to talk about. I am 15 and have never been to a funeral before. I was very close to my grandad and even though I’m not much of a public speaker I want to say something because I know I will regret it afterwards if I don’t. Any help will be greatly appreciated
