Information » Family & Relationships » Separation and Loss
In This Section
People are social by nature and that means we tend to live and interact closely with groups of other people. Because of this we form different relationships such as our families, friends, colleagues, boyfriends, girlfriends and classmates etc.
Things can get difficult when we have to be separated from those we care about or when we lose them. Sometimes people move away and out of our lives, sometimes things happen and our friendship or relationship ends with a person, tragically sometimes the people that we care about die. We can possibly be experiencing feelings of shock and sadness we may never have felt before.
It is natural for many people to cry and grieve during this time and it’ s important not to bottle up your feelings if you think you need help and support.
Always remember you don’ t have to deal with this on your own. If you´re finding it difficult to cope at school, college or work, always confide in someone you trust who can help you through this difficult time.
