When grief leaves you feeling frozen long after losing loved ones, imagining a future can feel impossible. This page explains what this grief can feel like and offers gentle ways to cope and seek support in Pakistan.
I feel frozen in my grief, as if a thousand years have passed since my loved ones were lost, and the only way I can imagine moving forward is
I’m here with you. Grief can make time feel strange and leave you completely numb. Are you thinking of ending your life or hurting yourself tonight?
If yes, move away from anything you could use and go to another person now; do not stay alone. If danger is immediate, contact your local emergency service. You do not have to solve your grief tonight—just stay safe for the next few minutes, then tell me the words that came after “is.”
