As a child I lost my father to cancer - he died on the wednesday, cremated on the friday, back to school on the monday. No support in 1995
As a man I lost my daughter - a week after her death we got a 3 sentence letter from the hospital. We tried to contact you (no you didn't). What do you want done with the baby (she has a name?). If we don't hear from you by such a date we will dispose of the body - No support in 2017

For all this Mental Health Awareness you still get no treatment from the NHS (sorry you can get drugs). When my daughter died I was referred to have cognitive behaviour therapy - my first appointment was 6 months later - helpful! It turns out that CBT is for those past the grieving stage.

I'm one of those guys who keeps it all in (probably from hearing an Aunt say to my Mum "he's strong, he'll be ok") so going to talking sessions with other people is a waste of time for me yet I cannot afford proper councelling as the cheapest is about £50 for 30 minutes!

I was at the doctors last week discussing it and guess what still No support in October 2018

But on the plus side teh country is going to have a £!20M party for leaving the EU; oh and it's a royal wedding today that has probably cost the tax payer a shed load of cash. Oh and judges have just been given a 32% pay rise..... I could keep going on

Mate, not sure where you live but Co Durham do a self referral scheme to the clinic in Durham.
