Dealing with grief is not easy, we believe the resources within this section of our website can help.
When you are grieving, you can help yourself by:
Being real about how you feel – try not to pretend you are okay or hide your true feelings. Finding a way of expressing how you feel – talking to someone or writing in a journal. Accepting that grieving is nothing to be ashamed of – it’s all a necessary part of adapting to the changes in your life and learning how to manage what’s happened. Taking good care of yourself – even though you may not feel like it, gentle exercise, daily walks, eating regular small meals, relaxation, listening to music, massage... these are all positive ways of nurturing yourself.
