Bereavement

When Someone Dies

Grieving for someone you loved or cared about takes time. We all grieve in different ways, and often have confusing feelings, but slowly life will become more bearable.

Your family and friends all understand what you're dealing with, and will want to help. You might want to talk about your feelings, or simply take your mind off things - just do whatever feels right and makes you feel better. You may need to tell your friends what kind of help you need from them as they may feel embarrassed and unsure what to say to you.

There are also organisations that can help you with support and counselling.
