Sadly, death is part of life. While it is inevitable and the loss of loved ones has to be resigned, no matter how painful it may be. It is imperative to remember that, despite the death of a loved one, your life continues.
Instructions
Step 1
Accept the help of others. Friends probably want to help you, but they do not always know how to do it right. Therefore, talk about your needs and let them be your support. This will help you cope with your feelings faster.
Step 2
Monitor your health. The stress caused by the death of a loved one can be very detrimental to health. You need to get enough rest, exercise, and proper nutrition in order to regain your lost strength.
Step 3
Be patient with yourself. You most likely want to cope with grief as quickly as possible, but accept the fact that periodically memories will excite the soul again and again. This is normal, especially if you have walked with the person for more than one year.
Step 4
Live on schedule. If you let things take their course, it will be difficult to get back on track over time. Therefore, force yourself to live a normal life: work, relax with friends, cook, etc.
Step 5
Deal with grief in the right way. Some people justify themselves by arguing that excessive alcohol consumption or uncontrolled use of tranquilizers helps them cope with the problem. In fact, such actions not only do not solve this problem, but also create new ones. You may need to take medication, but your doctor should prescribe it after a careful assessment of your condition.
Step 6
Don't worry about your future. Although sensible experiences are quite normal, you should not worry too much about how you will live next - life will put everything in its place.
Step 7
Don't take evil on others. Most people are ready to support you, but not everyone knows how to share someone else's grief. Be grateful that they have genuine motives and genuine interest. And if they do it not quite skillfully, then show understanding.
Step 8
Respond to your feelings correctly. Over time, you will be able to cope with the pain in your heart and move on with relative peace of mind. Don't beat yourself up for letting your pain go away. This is normal and does not mean that you have stopped loving the person you have lost. On the contrary, you have learned to live with those memories that no one can take away from you.
