The partner of a young mother killed in the Bondi Westfield stabbing massacre has given an update on how his family is doing, four months on from the attack.
Ashlee Good, 38, was fatally stabbed by Joel Cauchi, 40, on April 13 at the Sydney shopping centre while holding her infant daughter, Harriet.
Harriet was rushed to hospital with chest and arm injuries after Ashlee had handed her to bystanders.

A GoFundMe campaign was launched for Harriet following the attack, raising almost $850,000 for her recovery.
Good’s partner and Harriet’s father Dan Flanagan has now shared an update through the fundraiser, addressed to “our dear friends and compassionate community”.
“The overwhelming support, kindness, and generosity we’ve received in the wake of our unimaginable loss has been beyond words,” Flanagan said.
“There are so many people to thank for their support, strength and kindness over the past months — from emergency service workers to doctors, nurses, family, friends and kind strangers.
“To the thousands of people who have left messages and generously donated through this page, which was kindly set up by Steve Foxwell of Isagenix Australia and New Zealand for Harriet and myself — thank you.
“Please know that you’ve provided us with both comfort and strength during this difficult time, and that every message and donation has been read and received. To say they’ve been deeply appreciated would be an understatement.
“Nothing will ever dull the pain of losing Ash, but reading your messages and seeing what an impact Ash has had on so many people has provided a lot of comfort.”

Flanagan also shared his “heartfelt and deepest condolences” to the loved ones of the other people killed in the April attack.
Dawn Singleton, 25, Jade Young, 47, Yixuan Cheng, 27, Pikria Darchia, 55, and Faraz Ahmed Tahir, 30, were also killed by Cauchi before he was shot by police.
“Our lives will never be the same, and I wish every one of you your own strength and hope you’re getting the support required to navigate such incomprehensible and difficult times,” Flanagan said.
“The day our family of three became a family of two will never make sense to me, but countless people — including every single one of you who wrote messages and donated through this page — have shown me that while tragic things do unfortunately happen, there is more good in this world, than bad.
“While Harriet and I do our best to navigate our new world privately, I want to make one public promise to each of you: that the kindness and generosity you’ve shown us will never be forgotten.
“From the bottom of my heart — thank you.”
Flanagan signed the message off with his and his daughter’s “sincere appreciation and love”.
