How can I deal with intense grief?

I’m 20 years old and am experiencing the first great tragedy of my life. It has knocked me down, it’s eating me up. How can I deal with it?

It is best to seek professional support.

Hi there. Thank you for sharing how you are feeling right now. It's really important to be honest and open with how you are feeling. We are sorry to hear that you are grieving right now, losing someone significant in our lives can be very impacting, especially when it is your first experience of loss. It can be really useful to reach out to bereavement specific services like Child bereavement - they support children and young people (up to the age of 25) when someone important to them has died. You can find support here- https://www.childbereavementuk.org/Pages/Category/child-bereavement-uk-support-services
