Everyone deals with grief in their own way and at their own pace. Some young Travellers might be ready to go back to school quite soon after a loss and some might need a little longer. That is okay and it is important to do what is right for you. Travellers are also very proud people and often do not let ourselves grieve properly. We mostly live in tight knit groups and this means we are very close to family members or friends. Our loss can really affect us because of this. You might have lots of different feelings about your loss. Sometimes you might accept it quickly and feel relieved for the person who has died if they were in a lot of pain. Sometimes you might feel angry or very sad at what you have lost. It can be very hard if the loss was sudden or through suicide. You might have a lot of difficult feelings about this kind of loss. That is okay. It is good to talk to friends and family or even other support services about how you are feeling. It is hard to put feelings into words but getting the words out can help release feelings – like anger or fear.
