Coping with Loss

Grief is a unique journey for everyone. There’s no right or wrong way to feel when someone dies. Everyone experiences loss differently, and it’s okay to express your emotions in your own way.

You might feel completely unlike those around you, and that’s totally normal. Be patient with your family and remember they’re going through their own process too.

Here are some common feelings people experience after a loss:

  • Overwhelmed: It can take time to process a loss. You might feel numb, confused, or like you’re in a daze.
  • Angry: It’s natural to feel angry at the person who died, God, or even yourself. These feelings are a normal part of grief.
  • Scared: Losing someone can make you feel anxious about the future. You might worry about what happens after death or if other people will leave you.
  • Lonely: Sadness and despair are common after a loss. It’s okay to feel down and alone sometimes.
  • Guilty: You might blame yourself for what happened, even if it’s not your fault.
  • Physically unwell: Grief can affect your body. You might experience changes in appetite, sleep, or energy levels.

Remember, it’s okay to:

  • Experience a wide range of emotions
  • Feel differently than others
  • Express your feelings in whatever way feels right
  • Ask for help when you need it

Important: Avoid coping with grief through unhealthy behaviors like substance abuse, self-harm, or isolating yourself. It’s essential to take care of your physical and mental health during this difficult time.

Seeking support from friends, family, or a mental health professional can be incredibly helpful.
