🚒 Community Fire Safety – Water Access Signage 🚒

With today’s extreme heat and fire conditions, our local fire services may be supported by crews from outside the area. In an emergency, quick access to water can make a critical difference.

If you have a pool, dam, or accessible water supply on your property that could be used to refill fire trucks or helicopters, today is the day to help by adding clear signage.

🪧 What you can do today
• Place a clear A3 sign at your front gate or driveway entrance
• Write “POOL” or “DAM” in large, bold letters
• Ensure access is safe and visible from the road
• If possible, note whether a truck can get close or if portable pumps may be needed
Firefighters arriving in an emergency may first ask: 👉 “Are you okay?”
👉 followed quickly by “Where is the nearest water supply?”

Your signage can save precious minutes — and potentially lives.

🤍 A gentle reminder For many people — especially those with disability, trauma histories, anxiety, or sensory sensitivities — days like today can feel overwhelming. It’s okay to focus on safety, rest, and emotional wellbeing.

Christmas isn’t always merry — and that’s okay.
For many, this season brings connection, joy and celebration.
For others, it brings grief, loneliness, overwhelm, reminders of loss, strained relationships, or simply the pressure to “be okay”.
If you’re finding this time of year hard, please know:
You’re not broken
You’re not failing
You’re not alone

At Manty & Co Counselling, we hold space for the full human experience — especially the parts that don’t fit neatly into festive expectations. Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, burnout, or emotional exhaustion, support is available.

As we close out the year, we want to thank our clients and community for trusting us with your stories. It is a privilege to walk alongside you.
We’re looking ahead to the new year with hope, compassion, and continued commitment to trauma-informed, person-centred care.
Be gentle with yourself.
You don’t have to carry it all alone. Have a Merry and safe new years. 💛

Sharing a post from my Bereaved Parents Echuca page incase anyone else needs to know they are not alone in the pain of grief.

It’s not the moment our child died.
It’s not the funeral or the preparation leading tonthis day
It’s not the messages, the flowers, the meals and gifts left at the door. It's not the taking our living children out of the house just so we can breath.

It’s everything that comes after.

The part no one prepares you for.
The quiet, endless in-between.

The world keeps moving — school drop-offs, work, bills, birthdays house work homework
but you are suspended.
Not who you were before.
Not who you’re meant to become yet.
Just… here breathing living taking up space while the world spins and people continue on with there lifes

In the grey.

It’s where joy feels unfamiliar.
Where laughter comes with guilt.
Where people think you’re “doing okay” because you showed up, or replied, or smiled.

But inside, you’re navigating a life forever changed one full of Daily pain and suffering that never goes away.

Not broken.
Just altered.
Relearning how to exist without the child you love someone endlessly

The grey space is quiet. But it isn’t peaceful.
It’s where grief lives when the support fades and the world stops checking in.

And if this is where you are — You are not failing.
You are not weak.
You are not alone.

You are surviving the part of grief that rarely gets spoken about.

One day, colour may gently return.
But for now, it is okay to sit in the grey.
We will sit here with you.

Over this holiday period please know I'm only a message or call away ready to open my arms and ears

✨ Sitting by Moama Beach this morning… ✨

Sitting here at Moama Beach, taking a quiet moment to mentally prepare for my own mental health appointment.
Because yes — even counsellors need support too.

I live with AuDHD.
I carry CPTSD from childhood trauma, domestic violence, domestic abuse, and sexual assault.
And PTSD - I carry the deepest grief a mother can hold — the sudden loss of my beautiful Crystal-Lee. I performed CPR. I did everything I possibly could… but I couldn’t save her. That moment changed me forever.

And on top of my own lived experience, I hold space for others every single day — supporting people through heartbreak, trauma, fear, grief, overwhelm, and the heavy parts of everyday life.
Some days, that weight sits deeply on my soul.

But here’s the truth:

My lived experience is also why I do what I do.
It’s the reason I can support others with genuine understanding, empathy, and compassion.
I’m not a “textbook counsellor.”
Yes, I have all my qualifications — but my true gift comes from the life I’ve lived, the battles I’ve survived, and the woman I’ve become through it all.

If today is heavy for you, please know this:

You’re not alone.
Even the helpers need help.
Even the strong need to sit by the water sometimes and breathe.

And that’s okay.
That’s human.
That’s healing. 💛

🌿 Manty & Co Facebook Post — “Different Kinds of Grief”

Grief isn’t one-size-fits-all.
It doesn’t always look like tears. It doesn’t always sound like sadness.
Sometimes grief shows up in the body, in daily routines, in relationships, or in the quiet moments when no one is watching.

At Manty & Co, we see all kinds of grief — the loud, the silent, the complicated, the invisible and the grief you don’t even have the words for yet.

Here are some of the ways grief can show up:

🌧 Acute grief — the immediate pain after a loss
🕯 Complicated grief — when the pain doesn’t ease
💭 Anticipatory grief — grieving before a loss happens
🤐 Disenfranchised grief — grief society doesn’t validate
❓ Ambiguous grief — no closure, no certainty
📉 Cumulative grief — losses stacking on top of each other
🧩 Functional grief — grief that affects your daily life
⚡ Traumatic grief — when the loss was sudden or violent
⏳ Delayed grief — showing up months or years later
🤲 Secondary grief — hurting because someone you love is hurting
🪞 Identity loss grief — grieving the version of you that existed before trauma, disability or change

However grief arrives for you… it’s valid.
You’re not “too much,” you’re not “overreacting,” you’re human — and you deserve a safe space to heal.

If you’re navigating grief and don’t know where to start, Manty & Co is here.
Private counselling, youth mentoring, outreach, Zoom and phone sessions available.
