Experiencing grief is a natural and healthy process after losing a loved one but people will experience grief in
different ways. Coping with grief and loss is linked to context and culture, how we explain death, how we grieve and how we remember people. There are different ways people have tried to explain the stages that human beings go through linked to grief and loss. One example describes 5 stages of grief. People can go through and return to any one of these stages at any time.

Grief and loss can have impacts on psycho-social well being and it is important that you are able to recognize these and have strategies to support young people during difficult times.
