Hi Keithphillips2,

I'm very sorry to hear about how you have been feelings since the loss of your wife.

You keep sharing you do not want to be here, does this you mean you have thoughts of ending your own life? I know we have asked this before, but as of yet we have not had a clear answer to this.

I am going to share how you can keep yourself safe if you are thinking you are going to act upon those feelings:

If you feel unable to keep yourself safe, please know it is ok to seek immediate help. If you’re in the UK, you can do this by:

• going to any hospital A&E department (sometimes known as the emergency department)

• call 999 and ask for an ambulance if you can't get to A&E

• ask someone else to contact 999 for you or take you to A&E immediately

If you need some support right now, but don't want to go to A&E, here are some other options for you to try:

• contact the Samaritans on freephone 116 123, they're open 24 hours and are there to listen

• contact your GP for an emergency appointment or the out of hours team

We have also previously shared that if you feel unable to reach out to your GP for support, that we may be able to help you with this. You can email your full name, date of birth, address and surgery details via email to support@mariecurie.org.uk. Please do not share this information on the Online Community.

Take care of yourself.

Hannah – Support Line Officer.
