When we lose someone we love, the sadness and grief can feel overwhelming.
At Keith Logue & Sons, we understand that everyone’s experience of loss is different, and healing can take time. While we don’t provide formal grief counselling, we’re here to offer guidance and help you find the support you might need. Whether it’s understanding your own feelings, accessing resources, or connecting with trusted organisations, we’re here to listen, provide direction, and walk beside you as you navigate life after loss.
In the days and weeks following a funeral, many families tell us they feel lost. The phone stops ringing, the flowers fade and reality begins to settle in. That’s when grief truly begins, and when gentle support can make all the difference.
Our caring team is here to offer a listening ear and provide direction when things feel heavy. We can also connect you with some of Australia’s most trusted bereavement support organisations for professional support. Whether you’re seeking help for yourself, a child, or a friend, these services offer compassionate, confidential care:
We also provide families with helpful printed and digital grief resources to better understand common emotional responses, the stages of grief, and how to support others through loss.
Coping with grief is different for everyone – no single right way to feel or heal. But understanding how these emotions can manifest can help you or someone you love feel more supported. Here are some ways you can acknowledge grief:
From journaling and support groups to taking a quiet walk, there are several strategies that provide gentle relief. We can help guide you to what feels manageable.
Some feel numb, others overwhelmed. You might cry one moment and laugh the next, but all emotions are normal.
There are common stages, like denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance – but they rarely follow a neat order.
Children and teens grieve too, but often don’t know how to express their feelings. We offer tips for supporting young people and recognising grief in their behaviour.
Whether you’ve lost a partner, parent, child, friend, or pregnancy, every loss is real and deserving of care.
From journaling and support groups to taking a quiet walk, there are several strategies that provide gentle relief. We can help guide you to what feels manageable.
If you’re struggling to navigate this emotionally charged time, please know help is available. You can contact any of the services listed above or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
The journey through grief is unique for everyone, but support makes it a little lighter. Here, families share their experiences of working with our team, highlighting the guidance, care and connection that helped them through.
