SAIF Care and GriefChat

​Most people expect to be very upset or distressed when someone close to them has died. What takes
many people by surprise is how strong the emotions can be, how they can change very quickly, and how
long they last. People around you may seem to think you should be ‘back to normal’ after a few weeks or
months. You might appear to be your usual self to other people, but you know that on the inside, you’re
not even sure what normal is anymore.

Everyone grieves in a way that is unique to them and their relationship with the person who has died.
Well-intentioned people may say to you, ‘Time is a great healer.’ Sometimes, however, it can seem that life
is more difficult as the weeks and months go by.

We know that no-one can understand exactly what your loss feels like to you. But we do understand that
it’s sometimes easier to talk to someone outside of your friends and family about grief and the impact of
bereavement of your life and this is why we offer you support via SAIF Care and GriefChat services.
