Death is inevitable, and nobody asks for it. This guide will help you deal with the death of a loved one.
-
Tell yourself that they are dead.And they are not going to come back. Death is final. They will not be with you for as long as you live. The first stage for people normally is denial. We need to escape from this stage.
-
Remember the good things they have done. The good memories. Put up pictures of them. This will help you start to get "over" this stage. Sometimes if you don't want to talk about the death that is OK. Try to write it down. It's good to get your thoughts out.
-
Don't let other's sympathy get you down. You can just ignore it and remind yourself of the good things in your life. Tell them you "Don't want to talk about it." People will respect that you said that. They need to know.
-
Remember that you're never alone. Buy yourself something nice. Just splurge. You deserve it.
