Self Care Advice

Grief is a process that takes time, patience, and understanding. There are, however, some things you can do to take some control during this painful time. Your physical self is often the easiest place to begin.

Start by:

• Reducing caffeine intake
• Reducing sugar intake
• Reducing alcohol intake
• Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day
• Eat lots of juicy fruits and vegetables
• Exercise daily
• Get as much rest as you can
• Learn to meditate
• Learn to say no to things you don’t have the energy to do
• Allow yourself time to mourn each day
• Using a journal can ease the pain. Make your journal your best friend, you can pour your feelings out without fear of evaluation
• Don’t isolate yourself, share your pain with a compassionate person or find a counsellor with experience in grief and loss
• Believe in yourself and your ability to adjust to your pain
• Nurture yourself, use art, poetry, music, massage, or anything that makes you feel good

Above all, BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF.
