Has grief come knocking after lockdown?

The coronavirus pandemic forced us to delay many fundamental parts of our life… a haircut, the dentist appointment, a meal out with the family, a trip to the gym. Now with the easing of restrictions many are feeling like life has been switched on again.

But for some of us a return to "COVID-normal" is cause for even greater distress, as the realisation of what we lost hits home.

Sarah Godfrey, Co-Chair of Griefline recently spoke on Radio National about the range of losses Aussies experienced …“communities, friendships, jobs, identity, relationships, (even the) loss of lovely human interaction, that we forgot we really needed until it was taken away”.

If you are in need of extra support to cope with your experience of grief and loss as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, feel free to lean on Griefline. Our online moderated forums offer a growing community with shared experience, and include a forum dedicated to exploring COVID-19 issues.

The Griefline Helpline continues to serve the community 7 days a week with our caring and compassionate volunteers.

The roles of a Griefline volunteer and a First Responder seem worlds apart, yet one thing connects us…a shared experience of grief & loss in the community.

Whether a police officer, firefighter, paramedic or emergency health worker, our First Responders have always shown courage and dedication to protect our communities. Their work is instrumental in keeping us safe and reducing the occurrence of grief and loss in our communities.

The recent events of deadly bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic required those on the front line to go above and beyond…navigating the toughest of human experiences with little precedent.

So how do first responders manage when they bear witness to loss? How do they hold it together in a crisis?

“Well, sometimes, you don’t. Which is fine because you’re human. But I think it’s a real honour. I find what I do a real privilege,” says Margot, a palliative care nurse in Victoria.

It’s a privilege that presents Margot with all manner of grief, fear and exhaustion on a daily basis but with comradery, professionalism and a little secret, Margot feels like she can ‘get through’ almost anything.

Discover Margot’s secret in her inspiring story featured on the Griefline Resource Hub alongside a raft of informative articles and self-care strategies for anyone going through their own form of grief, loss, loneliness and isolation. With Griefline you are never alone.

Victoria is open for business once again 🙏

The experience of lockdowns has affected every Victorian differently, and for some the transition out of lockdown can be just as challenging.

But you don’t have to face it alone.
There are many resources available for those in need of support.

Griefline's new online resource hub provides a list of specialised services that can help you to find professional help, financial support or a community group to join. We continue to offer nation-wide services for those struggling with feelings of grief, loss, loneliness and isolation.

Griefline volunteer telephone counsellors are available from 6am to midnight, 365 days a year and our online forums are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

So whether you, or someone you know is experiencing difficulty, never hesitate to ask for help.

Change brings discomfort.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced us all to move from the familiarity of the past to the discomfort of an uncertain future.

So how do we adjust to this new reality? According to Julia Samuels (UKCP, BACP Acc. Psychotherapist) we need to take small steps.
The first step is to find a way to express our experience because when we match our words to our feelings it triggers a release and openness to change.

The new Griefline forum dedicated to COVID-19 is a safe and anonymous space to express in words how the uncertainty of the pandemic has compounded your experience of grief, loss, isolation and loneliness. Take the first step towards adjustment to the new COVID-normal by sharing your experience with our online community today.
