Struggling to cope with grief and loss? Hotline support is available in Botswana

Healing after a loss takes time. The pain of the loss can feel so intense that you don't know how to cope or where to turn. Talking openly about the loss can help you feel better. In Botswana there are 1 support lines you can contact. Grieving can look like:

• Feeling that life is meaningless
• Feeling emotionally unstable, like you're on an emotional rollercoaster
• Having a hard time concentrating and remembering things
• Feeling regret about things that were left unsaid
• Preoccupation with the loss and with reminders of your lost loved one
• Feeling more irritable than usual
• Feeling guilty about not having prevented the death or loss
• A feeling of deep sadness and emptiness

Everybody experiences and copes with grief differently. It's normal to feel several emotions in one day. It can be confusing to go through all of this on your own.

It's okay to allow yourself to feel and experience your emotions without any shame. Nobody has the right to tell you how to feel because each person's grieving process is unique. For people in Botswana, getting proper support can provide a space to talk about your experience openly and help you feel less isolated.
