This therapeutic story focuses on low mood associated with
bereavement. Sam feels low and fed up, but doesn't understand why
he feels this way. Everyone else has an opinion on the change in
his behaviour. His teacher thinks he is being lazy and can't be
bothered to finish his work, his mum thinks he is moody and bad
tempered, his friends think he is no fun any more and turning into
a bore. Comments like, 'Cheer up it might never happen', ' What has
got into you?' and 'Do you want to talk about it?' just upset him
even more. He doesn't know what the 'it' is, that is making him
feel this way. He didn't even feel this bad when his cousin died a
year ago! When he is kept behind in class for not completing his
work he tells the teacher how confused and sad he feels.
Connections are made between his feelings and the looming
anniversary of his cousin's death. Sam is helped to understand that
thoughts and feelings associated with bereavement can come and go
for a long time, and can cause strong emotions. He is shown how to
notice and share his feelings and to think about things he can do
when he feels this way. He makes a memory box so he can also
remember all the happy things about his cousin. In the 'Let's talk
about sadness and loss' section, feelings associated with
bereavement and helpful coping strategies are shared.
