Grief and Loss
Your right to grieve
Grief affects everyone in different ways. You have a right to express your grief in the ways you want. You have other rights too.....
- Have your questions answered honestly.
- Grieve anyway you want to (as long as it is safe for you and others).
- Not talk about what you are feeling or share your thoughts with your parents, friends or anyone else.
- Be angry at the person who has died, yourself, God (or any other being), other family members or the whole world.
- Not ‘get over it’ and ‘move on’.
- Have your own spiritual, religious and philosophical beliefs about death and what happens after.
- Create your own rituals that help you deal with your grief.
- Talk about the person who has died.
- Laugh and have fun even if you are grieving.
- Go on with life.
