Lifeline

Lifeline appears in the book’s closing help information as one of the Australian resources readers can contact if they or someone they know needs assistance. The entry supplies a telephone number and website, placing a concrete point of contact after a story shaped by bereavement and the struggle to keep living.

Listing and Contact Details

The resources section identifies Australia and lists Lifeline’s telephone number as 13 11 14, followed by lifeline.org.au. These details are presented as practical contact information rather than as part of the fictional plot. The surrounding notice says that help is available to readers and people they know who may need it, and notes that many listed resources provide immediate support through telephone, online chat, or email. The text does not specify which of those options Lifeline itself provides.

Placement in the Book

Lifeline is named in the material that follows the novel’s closing scene. After Ava Spirini recognizes her happiness on receiving a card from Gideon, the book turns from its characters’ story to a direct list of support resources. That placement makes the entry function as a real-world signpost alongside the ending, rather than as an organization encountered by the characters.

Relationship to the Story’s Themes

The list follows a narrative in which Kelly Waititi’s death leaves Ava Spirini grieving and forces her to consider how she can continue living with that loss. The book’s ending affirms that she can move forward without leaving Kelly behind; the subsequent resource information extends the book’s concern with survival beyond the fictional resolution. Lifeline’s inclusion makes the closing pages not only a reflection on pain and endurance but also a practical invitation to seek support. The evidence establishes its place in that list and gives its contact details, but does not describe the organization’s history, services, or role in the plot.
