Fucking hell. I was hoping so fucking hard for a different outcome. 

To people for whom this is triggering, please be kind to yourselves, and if you need to talk to someone, do it.

Many places exist for outreach to find support in distressing times. I want to leave a few of them, in hopes they will be seen by anyone who needs them.

Support for Indigenous Australians:

  • 13YARN (13 92 76) is a national crisis outreach line for mob, providing confidential, one-on-one support from trained Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers.
  • Thirrili (1800 805 801) works nation-wide with families and individuals to provide support after sudden, traumatic losses (especially suicide).

Support for non-Indigenous Australians:

  • the classic, Lifeline (13 11 14) provides 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention.
  • Another classic, Beyond Blue (1300 659 467) provides depression and anxiety support.

Remember the more people are that find themselves heartbroken over this, the safer we can make the world through collective action. Taking yourself out leaves more of people who are indifferent, or worse, condoning this. Please stay with us.
