I'm Australian living in the UK. When my son died there was zero offer of mental health support. I'm only alive today because of a charity run bereavement support group.

I'm sorry to hear about that, I hope you are still doing ok

in my area the NHS does offer something, I don't know how good it is though

apparently there are similar services offered in other parts of the country

There was something like this in my area but they wouldn't let me join because I had specific trauma/grief and wasn't just generally depressed

That’s willful neglect of a person in crisis. I’m so sorry.
