Self Help Guide
Looking after yourself It is important to look after your physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs whilst experiencing grief.
Socially and emotionally
Creative Expression You may find it helps to express your grief in creative ways i.e. writing, painting or music. Some people find that music can either soothe them or help bring the emotions right to the surface to be expressed though tears or words. Relaxation Make time for yourself to relax and give yourself space. Hobbies and interests may be a great way to unwind, you may want to take up something you have enjoyed in the past or start a new project.
Friends and family Friends and family can really help you cope better, even if you don’t feel like seeing anyone. It can be helpful to talk through difficulties and discuss ways of coping with someone that you are close to.
