There are so many emotions you can feel when someone dies, and it can be a complicated and confusing time. These short videos describe the experience of various emotions experienced by young people after someone has died. Their real voices, sharing their stories. You might resonate with some of them, all of them, or none at all, and that’s okay. Everyone’s grief journey is individual.
If you're looking for support or want to talk about any of these emotions, please use our on-demand services at the bottom of this page to speak to a Bereavement Support Worker instantly on weekdays from 8am to 8pm.
Tap the videos below to watch Youth Ambassadors, Alina, Olivia, and Iman, share their thoughts with our Bereavement Support Workers.
Lonely – Alina talks about her experience of loneliness following a bereavement and how she felt this despite being surrounded by people at university.
Worry – Olivia explains her experience of how fear and worry has impacted her life and how it has changed over time, as well as how she manages her worries now.
Numb – Iman vividly describes what numbness feels like to her in relation to her grief and what it’s like to carry that feeling around in every day life.
If you're experiencing any of these feelings, you can talk to us.
