Lost a loved one? Grief support hotlines are available in South Africa

If you're experiencing intense and unbearable pain after a significant loss, you're not alone. You may not know where to turn or how to cope. Fortunately, there are 3 hotlines that offer help with grief and loss in South Africa. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, consider getting some support:

  • An inability to find pleasure in the activities you used to enjoy
  • A feeling of deep sadness and emptiness
  • A feeling of abandonment by the person you lost
  • Feeling numb and cut off from your own emotions
  • Emotional exhaustion and extreme fatigue
  • Needing to be constantly distracted from the pain
  • Anger and blame directed toward yourself, others, or God for not preventing the loss
  • An increase or decrease in appetite
