Losing someone you love can make you feel completely lost and overwhelmed, making it difficult to manage most aspects of your daily life. However, taking care of yourself is a crucial part of making tasks like funeral planning and taking care of your children easier. Here are a few important self-care tips you should remember during the funeral planning process. 

Self-Care Tactics During Difficult Times

1. Take Care of Your Physical Needs

Sometimes when your mind is reeling from a loss, it can be hard to remember to take care of important self-care tasks like eating, sleeping, exercising, or taking medication. Make yourself a priority during funeral planning, and take time to do the things you need to do every day to look after yourself, such as taking walks, showering, or hitting the gym. 

2. Let Others Help

While it can be overwhelming to deal with the influx of visitors while planning a funeral, don’t be afraid of letting others help. When people offer to look after children, clean your house, or take care of tasks, let them help as much as possible to reduce your burden. 

3. Avoid Unnecessary Conversations

It can be hard to find yourself on the phone discussing the details of something painful in your life repeatedly, so try to avoid having unnecessary conversations. Instead, ask others to help spread the news about the death or funeral arrangements so you don’t find yourself talking with people who may or may not be sensitive about the topic.
