    Hi @Past User,

    As I said on your other thread, I’’m so sorry to hear about the loss you’ve been through. To lose all your family in such a short space of time must be absolutely heartbreaking and I’m glad you’ve reached out for support here.

    Sending you lots of hugs :heart:

    Hey Lucy, first of all i'm so sorry for your loss.
    Do you have a good support network around you to help you through this tough time? We're always here if you want  a chat, but face to face support is always helpful. Have you managed to speak to anyone about how you're feeling? <3

    Oh no @Past User it is really upsetting to hear about what has happened. I am so sorry to hear that your family have died. It is a really hard time for everyone at the moment but it gets harder when you lose someone you love.

    It sounds worrying that you have been left alone for 4 days because your family died.  Is there anyone you could go to for support or money? Remember that you are never alone on here.

    Sending hugs <3

    I am so sorry to hear this. That must feel so awful.  Do you know how youre going to manage if you have no support?

    Hello,

    hope you are well. I am just feeling a little confused about your posts because some of it doesn’t seem to make sense. Colleges do not pay people’s bills and if they were aware you were living in a house alone because your parents and sister all died then they would have had to make a safeguarding referral. One way or another, there would have been social services involved? I am just struggling to see how this is all possible but perhaps you can offer some clarity? 

    Just as a side note; it is a lot easier to get support if you are completely honest with us. We don’t judge. 
    Ok well I was scared to say on here but yes I have a social worker who helps 
    thanks

    So where are you actually living? Because no college or social services will pay your bills or leave you in a house alone.

    Has your social worker arranged foster care for you?

    That must be really difficult :( I'm wondering why you don't like them? have you been able to tell your SW that you don't like your foster family?

    I just mean that it is quite confusing. I don’t know whether your parents and sister have died, and whether it was 4 days ago? And if they haven’t died what would you genuinely like support with? You don’t live alone you live with a foster family? It is hard to understand what the situation is and the more things that you lie about the harder it is to believe anything you write. 
    Yes they did die 4 days ago.  I want support with grief emotional issues and being anxious and worried all the time and about princes trust and the foster family are mean
