The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) hosts a Facebook Friday online chat on Friday, 6 March from 1pm to 2pm and again from 7pm to 8pm.
LOSING a loved one, chronic illness, old age or suicide, can be a difficult process for anyone to go through.
How can you deal with it?
How long should someone grieve for?
What are some easy and effective ways that you can deal with after a death in the family?
The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) hosts a Facebook Friday online chat on Friday, 6 March from 1pm to 2pm and again from 7pm to 8pm, to help answer all these questions and to show you where you can find support during this difficult time.
Joining the chat will be experts who deal with grief and bereavement and will offer support and self-help tips on how to manage and cope through the stages of grief.

Working through your grief can be a painful process, but it is helpful to ensure your future emotional and physical well-being. Experts believe that if you do not grieve at the time of death, or shortly after, the grief may stay bottled up inside you. This can cause emotional problems or physical illness later on.
If you have lost a loved one, call a SADAG counsellor on 0800-55-44-33 for self-help tips, information and support or go to www.sadag.org.
