Understanding and Caring for the Grief of Forced Migration
Grief is a natural reaction to loss and everyone will experience grief at multiple points in their lives. Despite the naturalness of grief, many people struggle to process their feelings. When thinking about grief, the death of a loved one is often the first loss to come to mind, however, forced migration, which can include having to leave one’s motherland, and saying goodbye to friends and family can also prompt the natural grief response.
