support & understanding
Grieving is perfectly natural when someone you love dies. Your own personality and background will affect the way you grieve. Some people weep, others become quiet and some will need to talk to someone. Whatever your feelings now, take heart that the experience of those who have lost loved ones will help you through this time.
While there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there are healthy ways to cope with the pain that, in time, can ease your sadness and help you come to terms with your loss, find new meaning, and move on with your life.

A charter of the ship will depart from Port Adelaide and travel three nautical miles from the coast for you to scatter their ashes at sea.
