"There were a few people who have been talking to the Red Cross because of this tragedy," she says.

It helps to talk about it

Bolladóttir says that trauma assistance is basically a discussion about what happened and just talking about it is helpful. “It is basically a conversation. We have a team who have experience trauma assistance.” She says it is important for people to talk about what happened and know what to expect, especially if people have witnessed traumatic events. Furthermore it is important to have an idea of what feelings might come up in the aftermath.

"When you witness something horrible you feel bad and that is normal. However, if that feeling persists for a long time, then it is important to get help from professionals. For some it is enough to talk things over to get over the worst, but others might need more professional help."
