We will all experience grief in our own way; however, there are some feelings and reactions that many people experience, these include:
Grieving is a gradual process that can take a long time; it is important that you give yourself time to process what has happened and take care of yourself during this time.
Grief can come in waves, you may feel okay one minute and then very low the next, or have good days and bad days. Sometimes if you have had a challenging relationship with the person who has died it can be more, not less, difficult - you may be grieving the relationship you wish you’d had, as well as the person who has died.
If you feel like you are in need of further help with your mental health, please do reach out to your GP who will be able to listen to your feelings and assess your needs appropriately.
