Alongside any practical matters, you are learning to live in the world without your person, navigate your unique experience of grief, and find the support you need.<\/p>\n

Even though it is a universal part of what it means to be human, grief is an incredibly personal experience. Your grief is unique, shaped by the person you lost, the circumstances of your life, the circumstances of their death, and much more.<\/p>\n

As you grieve, be relentlessly patient with yourself and give yourself permission to care for yourself and your heart in the ways that feel best to you.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Remember, there is no checklist, timeline, or right way to grieve. Please be gentle with yourself and take one day at a time.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Many bereaved individuals find it comforting to know that others have faced similar moments.

Care for yourself in a way that feels as nourishing, gentle, and kind as possible during these difficult times. That may include creating boundaries by saying yes to the people and things that support you, and no to those that don\u2019t. Recognize that your grief is ever-changing and its impacts will shift over time. When grief is most raw, it may be a big deal to remember to eat or shower, and, over time, you may feel ready to engage more with life and those around you.[\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”html” title=”List Item” id=”1785295736509-2″ header=”Understand that grief looks like many things” tab_id=”1785295736509-8″]Many people think that grief means just being sad, but it\u2019s so much more. You may be sad, angry, lonely, relieved, scared, exhausted, confused, anxious, feeling regret, yearning, or any number of a million other things, and sometimes many things all at the same time. Grief can feel incredibly chaotic, and it is completely normal to feel lost. Your experience is completely valid, even when it feels messier than you might have expected.[\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”html” title=”List Item” id=”1785295736516-7″ header=”Know you are not alone” tab_id=”1785295736516-6″]No one can know exactly what it feels like to be you and to be grieving this loss. But that doesn\u2019t mean you are alone, even if it may feel like it. Everyone, if they live long enough, will experience loss and grief. When you find someone with a similar kind of loss, you may feel connected to them and share the language of loss that helps remind you that you are not alone.

It may be creating a keepsake, seeing their favorite band, participating in a meaningful ritual, or going on their dream trip. Many bereaved individuals also look to nature, sometimes through sunrises, cardinals, rainbows, or rainfalls. There are no right or wrong ways to remember people you\u2019ve lost; what matters is doing what feels comforting and gentle to you.[\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”html” title=”List Item” id=”1785295736538-5″ header=”Reemerge into the world, at your pace” tab_id=”1785295736538-4″]The world continues to move forward in an unrelenting way, which can be devastating, especially after a recent death. Reentering social communities, going back to work, and helping others understand how best to support you may pose significant challenges. Over time, grief and challenges change, as the experience shifts and you learn what is supportive to you and what is not. What may have seemed impossible in the early days \u2014 taking the dog for a walk, going to a local yoga class, planting a garden \u2014 may, in time, feel right and even supportive.[\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”html” title=”List Item” id=”1785295736548-1″ header=”Find the support you need” tab_id=”1785295736549-1″]In the beginning, many friends and relatives may say, \u201cLet me know what you need\u201d or ask, \u201cHow can I help?\u201d Yet you may have no idea what you need. If possible, respond with something that might lighten your stress, such as running an errand, bringing a meal, or raking the leaves. You might also ask someone to talk with you about the person you miss and share memories. There are many groups, camps, and retreats that support bereaved family members, some of which are listed in Evermore\u2019s Grief Support Directory.[\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”html” title=”List Item” id=”1785295736560-10″ header=”Connect with others, if and when you wish” tab_id=”1785295736560-2″]Engagement and connection with others can feel supportive while grieving. Like all aspects of grief, your appetite for connection may shift over time, and there are no right answers. You might feel like avoiding social contact, or you may want to be with people more, or perhaps just certain people with whom you can share your grief. When you are ready, seek out people and environments that feel supportive to you.[\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”html” title=”List Item” id=”1785295736571-2″ header=”Share your story” tab_id=”1785295736572-0″]Sometimes, grief needs to be spoken. At a time, at your own pace, and in a manner that you are comfortable with, you may want to share your story and perspectives with others. You do not need to share the whole story, nor do you need to enter situations that may cause further difficulty. You might talk to close friends and family, start a blog, attend an open mic event, or join an event with others experiencing similar losses.[\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”html” title=”List Item” id=”1785295736583-6″ header=”Reminders happen” tab_id=”1785295736583-10″]Life will continue to bring reminders that your person is no longer here \u2014 the empty chair at the breakfast table, a check-in call that doesn\u2019t come, a holiday tradition that isn\u2019t the same. Some reminders may be predictable, while others cannot be, such as when your person\u2019s favorite song comes on the radio or a scent brings a cascade of memories. In these moments, remember that it is completely normal to have strong reactions to painful reminders of profound loss.[\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”html” title=”List Item” id=”1785295736593-4″ header=”Life changes” tab_id=”1785295736593-8″]Many times, loss changes everything. It can be hard to adjust both to the loss of the person and to all the other changes that come alongside it. Over time, you may not cry every day; maybe you can manage to sit in your loved one\u2019s room, or buy their favorite cereal once more. Adjusting to loss is a lifelong process full of challenges and surprises, including new hopes, remembrances, and moments of grief.
