This period of grief could heighten emotional risk, calling attention to preventative wellness programs, bereavement counseling, and early intervention services for trauma and adolescent depression.
Volunteers have already searched riverbanks and bushland near the airport.
In another Facebook post, Ms Johnson expressed her gratitude and shared a gut-wrenching message to her daughter:
“Honestly have no words to describe our heartbreak, heartache or fear that we won’t see or hear from her again.”
“Flea, Flea, my heart tells me that you won’t see this, but I love you more than anything in the world. Would be homeless just to hear you say ‘Hey Mummzie what’s doing’… I would honestly sell my soul to hear those words.”
Families experiencing such uncertainty may explore options such as grief-focused wellness retreats, temporary life insurance claims assistance, or crisis relief funds for medical and legal guidance.
