"Charity for Civil Servants is just amazing and the people in the help team are like
Marilyn used to love winter and Christmas time, as her mum Ellen made everything so special for everyone.
Yet one December, Ellen had a fall and broke her leg, having to spend a long time in hospital. Sadly, despite everyone rallying round, Ellen’s health went downhill rapidly and she passed away. At first, Marilyn thought she was coping. “I didn’t accept my mum’s death for a long time and tried to keep busy.”
“I was absolutely exhausted.” Like many of us, Marilyn didn’t realise how much her grief had hit her, until she realised she wasn’t eating properly and was close to a full-on mental breakdown.
Like so many civil servants, Marilyn had concentrated on helping other people. But sometimes the helpers need their own angel too.
So when Marilyn reached out to the Charity for Civil Servants for help, it was her turn to be shown the kindness of others.
