GRIEF

#GRIEFAWARNESS

WHAT IS GRIEF?

Grief is a series of emotional, cognitive, functional and behavioral responses to death or other kinds of loss such as “loss of youth, of opportunities, and functional abilities.” Grief should be considered a process rather than a state.

5 stages of grief

ANGER
BARGAINING
DENIAL
ACCEPTANCE
DEPRESSION

How to Cope

  • Pay attention to yourself, your feelings, your thoughts as well as your physical health.
  • Stay connected with your friends and family.
  • Recognize that no set of steps, tasks, stages, or method could ever tell you how to get over, move on from, let go of, or resolve grief.
  • Recognize that life will never be exactly the same.
  • Train your brain, body, and heart to tolerate pain.
  • Learn from the tough stuff. Throw away the bad stuff. Hold onto the good stuff.
  • Keep living life one day at a time.
  • Let people help you.
  • Set reasonable daily goals.
  • Focus on one task at a time and take care of your health maintaining good eating and sleeping, and exercise.
