Grief Support

When a family member or close friend dies as a result of homicide, this is a particular type of grief, brought about by extraordinary circumstances. Our usual reactions to grief - anger, blame, shock, guilt - are all heightened. The involvement of the criminal justice system further complicates our usual human reactions to grief.

Our Peer Support network has been carefully cultivated by the QHVSG community of members who also have lived-experience with homicide.  Their understanding of grief resulting from the homicide of a loved one will provide a unique type of support that will assist you on your journey.

We have provided this link to Grief Australia which may help you understand some of the sensations and emotions you are feeling.
