Losing a loved is never easy, which is why you may find yourself looking for ways to relieve your pain as you heal. While managing grief may seem impossible, you can make progress by taking small steps after a funeral to cope with your loss. Here are three self-care tips for managing grief. 

Ways to Cope With Grief

1. Take Time for Yourself

It is more difficult to manage emotional trauma when you are physically exhausted, so focus on taking time for yourself. In addition to taking time to think about things other than your grief, focus on eating a healthy diet, exercising, and getting enough sleep. If you have a hard time managing your grief symptoms, consider seeing a doctor to ask for help with depression or sleeping. 

2. Talk With Others 

Connecting with people who understand your loss can be incredibly comforting, so consider joining a support group to talk about your experience. Getting together with others who innately understand how you are feeling can often provide relief from sorrow, so don’t be afraid to share. 

3. Honor Their Memory

Honor the memory of your loved ones by giving back, volunteering, or raising money for the causes they were committed to. By concentrating your efforts on remembering the things they valued most, you can remind others of how they served their communities while doing something good.
