Grief can happen to every person, but you need to find the strength in yourself to live on. Everyone copes and experiences it in their own way: someone is able to be persistent and strong, and someone comes out of this state painfully and hard.
Instructions
Step 1
In any case, a person should not experience grief alone. During this difficult life period, it is imperative to constantly be in the circle of close people who can support, listen. You shouldn't hold back tears if you feel like crying. You need to exhaust your grief to the end, and not try to drown it out with an endless intake of sedatives.
Step 2
If you have lost a loved one, then do not blame yourself for what happened, do not blame yourself for not having time to say or do something - this is a direct path to severe depression. Try to understand that this is an inevitable life situation, sooner or later this can happen to every person. It is important to realize that a loved one has left your life forever, not to try to deny this fact, this will aggravate your mental state and prolong the period of recovery from depression.
Step 3
It is necessary during this period to gather together with those people who are experiencing grief with you. Talk, remember the joyful moments associated with the departed person.
Step 4
It is important not to withdraw into yourself and gradually return to your usual life. You must try to take all your free time with some kind of activity, so as not to be alone with your grief. Return to your work, try to occupy your thoughts with solving important problems and questions. Perhaps you can find yourself a new interesting activity. Very often, after the loss of loved ones, people discover new abilities and interests in themselves and achieve great success, because they give a lot of energy to a new business in order to quickly get over the grief.
Step 5
Do not forget that your loved ones will stay with you. They also need your love. Give them your tenderness and care, feel your responsibility for them. A person who feels responsible cannot be weak and helpless.
Step 6
If a person cannot get out of the state of unremitting grief for a very long time, is closed in himself and does not want to accept the fact of the loss of a loved one, then it is imperative to consult a psychologist. Perhaps, without the qualified help of a specialist, he cannot cope with grief on his own. However, in such a state, a person is unlikely to be able to independently make a decision to visit a psychologist, here the initiative should be shown by relatives.
