Self-help guides
Ambiguous loss can affect us in multiple ways – such as cause physical symptoms to arise, problems with sleep, appetite, or strong emotional responses like anxiety, depression, anger or panic, and you may develop unhealthy ways to cope. It can be a highly stressful experience and traumatic, also the cause of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). NHS Mersey Care have produced some useful self-help guides that give you more information on some of these topics, which are free to download or listen by audio. If you are having any unusual symptoms or are concerned about your health, always see your doctor or healthcare professional for advice.
