Grief and Loss

What is Grief?

"A death in your family or in your circle of friends is always difficult. You may feel shocked, upset, tearful or distressed. You may find it difficult to concentrate and to realize what has happened. You may be angry or frightened. These experiences are particularly confusing and intense in the early days and weeks of a bereavement."

"If you’re faced with telling a child or teen that a family member or friend in a hospital or care facility is likely to die soon, you might be feeling confused and overwhelmed. It’s never easy to share this news, and especially so when there might be factors that prevent you and your family from physically visiting the person who is dying."
