Bereavement
We know that it is a very distressing time when someone close to you has died. The emotions that you're feeling can be very strong and last longer than you think they would.
People around you may seem to think you should be ‘back to normal’ after a few weeks or months. You might appear to be your usual self to other people, but you know that on the inside, you’re not even sure what normal is anymore.
Everyone grieves in a way that is unique to them and their relationship with the person who has died.
We know that no-one can understand exactly what your loss feels like to you. It’s sometimes easier to talk to someone outside of your friends and family about grief and the impact of bereavement of your life.
