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 Wales there are 3 support lines you can contact. Grieving can look like:

Feeling like there's a pit in your stomach
Feeling regret about things that were left unsaid
Feeling guilty about not having prevented the death or loss
Emotional exhaustion and extreme fatigue
Preoccupation with the loss and with reminders of your lost loved one
Increased anxiety about the future
Anger and blame directed toward yourself, others, or God for not preventing the loss
Relief if your lost loved one had a painful or debilitating illness

Grief and loss can bring up a diverse range of emotions. You may feel sad, angry, shocked, guilty, relieved, and scared all at once. This is a normal response but it can be confusing and make you feel alone.

Grieving is a very personal experience and because of that, it can feel isolating. If you're in Wales, speaking to someone who has been there too, and who understands can help you feel less alone.
