Turn to friends and family members
– Draw loved ones close, rather than
avoiding them, and accept the assistance that’s offered. Oftentimes, people
want to help but don’t know how, so tell them what you need —whether it’s a
shoulder to cry on or help with funeral arrangements.
Draw comfort from your faith –
If you follow a religious tradition, embrace the comfort its mourning rituals
can provide. Implement spiritual activities that are meaningful to you like as praying,
meditating, or going to church. If you’re questioning your faith
in the wake of the loss, talk to a a Pastor or others who are associated with your faith beliefs. This is normal to feel this way.
Join a support group – Grief
can make you feel extremely lonely, even when you have loved ones around. Sharing your sorrow
with others who have experienced similar losses can be very helpful. To find a bereavement
support group in your area, contact local hospitals, hospices, funeral homes,
and counseling centers.
Talk to a therapist or grief counselor
– If your grief feels like too much to bear, call a mental health professional
with experience in grief counseling. An experienced therapist can help you work
through intense emotions and overcome obstacles to your grieving. It can help you to better deal with your grief.
