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

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

  • Becoming tearful and crying more often and unexpectedly
  • Feeling numb and cut off from your own emotions
  • Using substances to cope with the pain
  • Weight loss or weight gain
  • An increase or decrease in appetite
  • A feeling of deep sadness and emptiness
  • Feeling regret about things that were left unsaid
  • Feeling like there's a pit in your stomach

There is no typical way to grieve, everyone's experience is unique. You may experience a range of emotions as you struggle to find meaning and accept the loss.

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

If you think you might need support with grief or loss today, consider contacting a helpline in South Korea for free, confidential help.
