5 Ways To Deal With The Death Of A Loved One
4. Keep yourself busy
“One of the best ways to deal with the death of a loved one is to start recuperating from the loss by keeping yourself busy. I have realized that the more I occupied myself with activities like reading, household chores, going out to run errands and the usual routine, the lesser was the effect of grief on my mental state”, said Kimberly. We know that you may not feel like getting back to work or occupying yourself with activities immediately after the loss of your loved one. But after a few days, start getting back on track and back to your routine slowly.
5. Get enough rest, sleep and food
In many cases, tragic deaths often leave people restless and unable to sleep which is understandable due to the severe emotional trauma. However, you must understand that getting ample rest, sleep and a healthy diet are your supportive pillars in times of stress. “I was lucky enough not to fall in the trap of sleep deprivation. I’ve heard that lack of sleep can multiply the levels of emotional trauma that people face while trying to learn how to deal with the death of a loved one”, said Kimberly.
