Grief is a natural reaction to losing someone you care about. Everyone’s experiences of grief are different, and they may affect you in different ways at different times.
You may need help if your emotions are so intense you feel you can’t go on, or if you can’t cope with your day-to-day life. For example, if you struggle to go to work, look after children, or socialise with friends. If you’re experiencing these feelings, it’s important to get support.
Although some people are more comfortable talking to friends and family about their loss but some benefit from talking to a professional counsellor. This is called grief or bereavement counselling.
