                                            R U OK? Day – A Gentle Reminder to Check In
At Silkwood Funerals, we know that life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when we are faced with loss, change, or moments of uncertainty. Today, on R U OK? Day, we pause to remind our community of the power of a simple conversation.
Asking someone “Are you OK?” may seem small, but it can truly change the course of their day – or even their life. It’s about taking the time to listen without judgment, showing that we care, and reminding one another that no one has to walk through life’s challenges alone.
Grief, stress, and hardship can often feel isolating. But when we reach out – to friends, family, colleagues, or even a neighbour – we create a space of connection and hope.
So today, and every day, let’s ask with genuine care:
👉 Are you really OK?
👉 How can I support you?
👉 Do you feel like talking?
Together, we can build a community where kindness, compassion, and support are always close at hand.
At Silkwood Funerals, we believe in walking beside people in times of loss and beyond – because being there for each other makes all the difference.
If you’re struggling today, please know that support is available. Reach out to a loved one, a trusted friend, or contact services such as Lifeline on 13 11 14. You are not alone.
