The 'migration grief', from hope to fear for those who leave their country of origin
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported27m ago
Migrants face a psychological phenomenon known as the 'migratory grief' or 'migrant grief,' which involves an emotional shift from initial relief and excitement to subsequent feelings of panic and fear. This transition often occurs after the immediate dangers of the migration journey have been overcome and the individual has settled into their new environment for some time.
The experience is documented through individual accounts, such as those of Diana Menses from Cuba and Fahde el Bakkali, who arrived in Spain four years ago. The reports highlight that the psychological impact of leaving one's country of origin is a complex process that evolves significantly beyond the initial arrival period.
