Grief and support

3 articles

The grief you are going through is neither an illness nor a weakness — it is a natural response to loss, and it has no 'right' course and no time limit. In an acute crisis, the First Psychological Aid Line (116 123) is available around the clock and free of charge. And if you are supporting someone close to you, even feeling unsure of what to say is perfectly all right. Here you will find: the stages of grief and when to seek a professional · what to say to a grieving person and what to avoid · templates for condolences and the rule that sympathy is offered, never wished · where to find counselling services and self-help groups in the Czech Republic.
