Grief can come after death, separation, farewell, or a major break. It can strongly affect body, sleep, daily life, and thoughts.
Some people cry a lot, others feel empty, angry, calm, or only keep functioning. Different reactions do not mean you grieve wrongly.
For today, one small hold is enough: eat, drink, sleep, tell one person, make an appointment outside the home, or write down what should not stay alone.
If you no longer sleep, cannot manage anything, withdraw strongly, panic, or do not feel safe, counseling, a doctor, or TelefonSeelsorge can be a first step.
If you are afraid you might harm yourself or cannot stay alone, urgent help matters. Call 112 in acute danger or contact a real person immediately.
