Bereavement is a very difficult time and sometimes people are unsure what to do and how to feel. It is important not to bottle up feelings and to remember that it can be helpful to express your emotions. It is alright to feel a need to talk about what has happened.

It is easy to forget about looking after yourself, so try to remember that you need time to sleep and rest and think. Remember to be gentle with yourself. It is normal to find some days more difficult than others. It is normal to take time to overcome your grief. There is no fixed time that it takes to get over your loss. It may be helpful to take some time after a bereavement before you make any major life changes.
