Find healing after a significant loss. Contact a grief support hotline in Nigeria

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 Nigeria there are 4 support lines you can contact. Grieving can look like:

• 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

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 Nigeria, speaking to someone who has been there too, and who understands can help you feel less alone.

If you feel like you might need support with grief or loss, try reaching out to a hotline in Nigeria. It's free and confidential.
