I am still strugglying after my friends death, i talked to a crisis line and they suggested bereavement support, i did try and access support last year but it has to go through the GP.
I did ask my GP but there was no referral or anything, i don't think the GP fully understood the procedure , you have to refer a patient to bereavement services.
This all seems so unnecessary, why can't anyone who is bereaved access the service automatically.
Why isn't it arranged by Social services, aftercare for the unpaid carer when their caree dies.
Its just so difficult trying to access help, it shouldn't be like this.
And uses up a GP appointment, why do you need to see a GP?
