I was going through a trauma in the church in the service.\n\n“I wasn’t even thinking about the service, I was just thinking how pathetic this was.\n\n“For our family’s mental health and trauma through that, you can’t tell me there’s any compassion from the government when it comes to funerals.”\n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support.\n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63\n\nLifeline 131 114\n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636
