When someone important in your life dies, it can mess with your head in all kinds of ways. You might feel sad, numb, angry, confused, or nothing at all. All of that is normal.
Sometimes people die after being ill for a long time. Other times it happens suddenly, and that shock can hit really hard. You might keep replaying things, asking “why?”, or feeling unfairly angry at the world. That’s part of grief too.
You won’t forget someone just because they’ve died. They’re still part of your story. The memories can be painful, but they’re also part of the connection you had with them.
Talking about them can feel awkward or overwhelming. A lot of adults struggle with it as well, even if they don’t show it. But keeping everything locked inside can build up and come out as anger, stress, or feeling totally alone.
This is a tough time for everyone. You don’t have to handle it perfectly. Just take it one day at a time.
There are lots of ways to help us remember someone who has died. Below are some suggestions but you may have some of your own:
Make a memory box with items and photos to remind you of your special person.
Listen to the person’s favourite music or watch their favourite film.
Talk to other people about their memories of your special person.
Visit their favourite places, the beach, the park etc.

What can Mosaic do to help?
Mosaic is here to help young people like you who have experienced the death of someone special. All the people who work for Mosaic have had special training to help them to help you understand how you are feeling.
We usually visit you in your home or at school, wherever you feel the most comfortable. We will tell you about how we can help and find out about how you are feeling.
Children and young people tell us that they often feel lonely and isolated and that it is really helpful to meet others who have had similar experiences. In order to do this we organise Activity Days where you can have fun, laugh, cry and make friends.
