The death of someone you care about can be very difficult. These feelings are sometimes called grief.
It's natural to have strong reactions when someone you love or are close to dies. You might feel:
like you can't handle things confused scared
numb or that you've lost control
worried that you may never feel okay again.
Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to feel better straight away. These feelings will change over time.
It's important to try to accept how you feel. You might also be upset about the death of an animal or pet. Or when someone's still alive but you're not able to see or talk to them anymore.
This can hurt as much as a relative or friend dying.
