Watching the flood events unfold in the media is upsetting for all of us and for those of us who have survived a natural disaster, the floods in NSW and Queensland can re-trigger traumatic experiences. Grief can surface at the most unexpected moments, and when we are witnessing loss at an enormous scale, we can easily feel helpless and overwhelmed.

But there is unity in sharing our experiences. Sharing your story can not only help you find new meaning, it can open up spaces for support and help others in their recovery too.

You are welcome to share your stories of surviving a natural disaster or your words of support here. And for those feeling the effects of the floods or triggers please reach out here for words of support from the community.

For those of us who feel the urge to help in other tangible ways below is a list of organisations you can donate to…whether its money, food, essentials or your time and efforts;

Red Cross QLD and NSW Floods Appeal
