Speak my Name

Michelle (PlanBig Team Member) Great to hear Lisa!

Jennifer Murphy Chicken Soup, Chocolate and hugs ... Jen xxx

Julia S (Community Manager) I hope you feel better soon Lisa, ditto on the chicken soup and plenty of tea and water!

Jennifer Murphy Great link, thanks for sharing.

Stuart Breden Hi Lisa, I'm a GP here in Perth. Presumably you are referring to loosing a son who has died. What about those fathers who have lost their son/s but those son/s are still alive? I would love to hear from you off line.

Jennifer Murphy Hi Stuart, I'm not Lisa, but I came across this website/support group that might be helpful. I read some of the stories (under the tab) and it seems to cover something similar to what you are asking. http://www.dadsindistress.asn.au/index.html

Jennifer Murphy Hi Lisa, have you come across this site on the Men's Health Policy? http://www.health.gov.au/ then under the Information by Health Topic, chose Men's Health. Lots of interesting information there! Thanks to Joanne who pointed me in the right direction!

lisa chiodo thanks so much Julia, just connected with them.

Michelle (PlanBig Team Member) Hi Lisa - I've asked some very talented PlanBiggers if they can help you on this one. Stay tuned! :-)

Eunice S (PlanBig Team Member) Sorry to hear that Lisa - my deepest condolences. Do take care and please let us know if there is anything we can do to help with your plan.

Julia S (Community Manager) My condolences Lisa, take care of yourself and we will look forward to hearing from you soon.

Michelle (PlanBig Team Member) Hi Lisa - I am so sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking about you and your family.

lisa chiodo thank you all for your kindness and sympathy, it makes a huge difference. love lisa

Colin Hugh Abbott Lisa - I am very sorry to hear of the sad circumstance which led you to be involved in this worthy cause. I am a pensioner, but, if you want to give me your address, I will send you a cheque for twenty dollars, which, I hope, in some way, will help in your endeavour to Speak My Name.

Charlotte I'm in New Zealand so I can't be there to join you. I know what it is to loose someone close, life changes for ever. What a great idea to set up this event for men. Men are very much raised to be staunch and hold it all in our our culture, this is not a healthy way to deal with emotions. Hopefully they'll connect with each other, perhaps exchange a few phone numbers, create similar future events. Good on you!

Colin Hugh Abbott Lisa, I am a newcomer to PlanBig and I'm not quite sure how to state that I like your plan. There should be a button or tag up there to hit ... but I can't see it ... can somebody help ... please. Good on ya, Lisa!

Colin Hugh Abbott Ah ... I can see it now ... well done, Lisa!

Lydia Bevege Hi Lisa - I've just liked your facebook event. Good luck with it!

lisa chiodo Have had response from some amazing Dad's, gaining momentum...
