How is it best to cope with the death of a loved one?

There is no best way. Everyone is different. Some people find comfort in religion, some people distract themselves with hobbies and seeing friends, and some people deal with it straight on and allow themselves to grieve. You have to find the way that's best for you. The only wrong way to cope is to keep all the feelings you're having to yourself and struggle alone.

Everyone copes with loss differently. There is no "right" or "wrong" way, and you deserve to feel comfortable in your healing process. However you feel inclined to cope, is probably okay as long as it's not detrimental to your health. Take care of yourself while you're healing. Be sure to stay hydrated and eat, if and when you can. It will get better in time.

Keep something of theirs, listen to some music that brings you back those precious memory's of their presence on this Earth. You never 'get over' the death of a loved one so the best way to cope is by keeping their memory alive. Talk to people about how they made you feel, how good a person they were, and just tell people how much the person who passed away means to you. You can also keep photographs etc....

Coping with the death of a loved one is a very personal experience and there are no right or wrong ways. Factors such as the way in which your loved one died (sudden or expected), their age and their relationship to you are all influence how you deal with the experience. However there are some ways which are universally helpful, for example it might be a good idea to speak to a religious figure in your life, to reach out to family and friends who also knew your loved one and to be involved in a meaningful activity to honour their memory eg. A 10k run to raise money for people with the condition that took their life. It may also be helpful when you are ready to create a memory book with photographs and writing about their life. In extended or very traumatic situations it can be helpful to reach out to a support group for people who suffered loss and understand what you are going through, and sometimes counselling is a good option too.

Social support is important. Know that you are not alone; you have a community, family, and friends to help you get through the life changing experience. It's hard, and it's okay to grieve. But know that you will always have support.

one way to deal with the death of a loved one is to view them as not dead. The idea of Death can seem so permanent, but if we see it as a natural transition we can then see it as a stage of a journey. Research tells us that talking daily to the loved one who has transitioned is way to help deal. continue speaking to the person and use this vital time to make a spiritual connection. Finally, do not rush the grief process as there is not particular time frame to grieve, and it is okay to feel a sense of loss. utilizing a personal method of coping is essential to healing and acceptance of this new transition for all involved.

This may be one of the most difficult situation a person is put into. Sharing your sadness wih someone who cares may make a lot of difference. Talk to your friend, relative or family members about your feelings. Nature have given us the gift of forgetting things. Be brave, it will pass on with time.

Loosing a loved one can be exceedingly hard, but one of my favourite qoutes is "good thoughts need to grow"; like that of a plant (it sounds silly, but bear with me!) your thoughts need time to grow. It's easy to loose yourself in negativity but distraction is key; focus on the new and positive things in life, because there are plenty when you look for them! Keep going, the pain will soften eventually I promise :)

Make sure you see a grief counsellor. Talking to someone really helps, and will always be the best for you.

Give yourself time and space to let the grief take it's course. Accept that you will be sad, and angry for a time and there is nothing you can do about it. Stay in contact with your other loved ones, and be kind to yourself.
