Loss and death can mean something different to everyone. It may be the loss of a friend from your life or of your favourite possession. Death may be when someone in your life passes away, or if a pet you love dies. Sometimes people die of old age and sometimes younger people die. A person might get really sick or die suddenly, like in an accident. Loss and death can happen at anytime in someone’s life and there are many different feelings that this can bring up for you.
When someone you love dies, you might feel sad that the person will no longer be around to talk to or to have fun with. You also may not feel anything at all or you may feel like crying and that's ok. You might feel lonely or you might even feel angry at the people around you or the person that died. Everyone grieves differently after losing a loved one.|
