Good morning loves.
It is with an extremely heavy heart to tell you all I had another passing in my family. My step dad who was more of a father to me than anyone has ever been passed away Tuesday night. This is the third person in my family I've lost in a year. Going through so much in the past year has taught me how to cope with loss which is what I want to talk about today.
Coping with the loss of a loved one is incredibly difficult and some days it feels impossible to go on.
Here's my list of whats helped me get through the past year.
1. Music - I know this is a big one for many people. I don't know what it is but if you find a song that describes your current situation even though it may make you cry at the same time it makes you feel better knowing other people go through the same sorts of things.
2. Read a book - this helps keep the mind occupied on something else and can help you escape the sadness for a little while.
3. Spend time with loved ones. You're all going through the same thing be there for each other. Talk about all the good times you had, share the laughs. Don't dwell on how sad things are.
4. Go for a walk. Being outside in the fresh air really does help. I don't know why but get those bodies moving I promise you if only for a while you'll feel a little better.
Those are the things I've been doing to help myself and we all have different ways of coping but most importantly talk to someone don't try to get through it alone.
How do you cope with death?
