I wonder if any of you can help me, I hope and pray none of you have gone through this but maybe you know of someone who could help me? My granddaughter took her life this year, she was only 15. My daughter and I found her in horrible circumstances. I have been chasing around trying to get my daughter help. She is suffering from trauma. Her little girls face is beside her all the time, that's all she can see. We were told that a counsellor would contact us within 72 hours that never happened. The police blame NHS the NHS blame the police and I just run between them getting nowhere. It's been almost 2 months and she's had no help, everything has been so hard. She's drinking a lot to blot everything out which isn't helping. I'm caring for the remaining children and have not been able to grieve the loss of my beautiful granddaughter. Does anyone know how I can get help? My daughter is speaking to someone from a charity on Thursday but its just an assessment, we needed help 2 months ago. I am so scared she's going to do the same thing our of sheer desperation. I cannot believe she can just be left like this. Well I can because that's how my grand daughter was left with no help until she couldn't bear it any longer. I have been fighting this for weeks and I am beginning to feel defeated. I can just see my daughter losing everything, her home, job even the kids. She's a single parent, her ex is useless. Can anyone help us. I would just like to know who should have helped in the first instance and get them to do it now.
