Grief: What Helps When It Hurts
Grieving is a uniquely individual experience with neither a schedule nor timetable. Experts no longer look for universal stages, recognizing instead that individuals grieve in their own way.
Below is a list of 10 ways to manage and cope with the loss.
1: Do not stifle your emotions:
If you want to cry allow yourself a good cry.
2: Write down your thoughts and feelings:
The act of writing down your thoughts and feelings helps you to process.
3: Call someone:
Talking to someone that you trust can do wonders for your stress level.
Talking to Coach can go a long way in reconnecting with the parts of your life that once made you happy.
4: Listen to music:
Music is the universal language. It has the capability of being cathartic.
5: Meditating:
This is a practice that has been done for thousands of years, and can bring balance
and inner peace into your life.
6: Sleep:
Sleep can be a great escape.
7: Movement:
This can be dancing walking or exercising.
Emotions are thoughts in motion and movement allows the body to release stagnant energy.
8: Watch a movie:
Watching a funny movie or video can appease the saddest heart. Remember laughter is medicine to the bones.
9: Faith:
Whatever your beliefs are call on that. Prayer can sometimes allow you to know that you are not alone.
10: Be kind to yourself:
Last but not least, pampering yourself at this time is crucial. Hot salts bath with candles. A deep tissue massage to release all the stagnant energy.
Allow yourself to grieve. Allow yourself to feel whatever you feel.
Exercise great compassion for yourself. Healing takes time and patience. :
