We can go through a range of emotions when a loved one passes away and it can take time to adjust to that change. There is no right or wrong way to feel during this time and grief affects everyone in different ways.
Loss can have a significant impact on you and those close to you, which is why we offer the Grief Chat service.
The service is completely free and available Monday to Friday, 9am to 9pm and you can email outside of those hours.
The pop-up chat at the bottom of the page will link you to a trained bereavement counsellor.
Patient and family support
Our Patient and Family Support Clinicians, Adrian, Kate and Paul, offer support to our patients and their families following an incident, whatever the outcome of the incident. They answer questions about the prehospital care we delivered and can provide details of other agencies that can lend support.
