LOSS OF A CLOSE FRIEND OR LOVED ONE

- Numbness

- Questioning faith and life choices
- Losing sleep
- Heaviness in your chest
- Physical aches and restlessness
- Absent-mindedness and forgetting simple things

The Importance of Self-Care
One of the biggest aspects many people, unfortunately, do not talk about is the sheer amount of stress placed on your body as you grieve. Moving through the grieving process requires you to treat your body with care. It’s easy to slip into a slump, avoiding sleep, eating, drinking water, exercising, and sometimes reaching for substances to help you cope. It’s incredibly important to avoid substances and distractions and maintain your healthy eating, sleeping, and exercising schedule. When your body is well taken care of, you are able to grieve easier.
Obviously, this is all easier said than done. But it’s important to remember to take care of yourself through the process. Lighten your work schedule, ask for help, reduce work hours, take some time off, and try implementing relaxation techniques. You need to set aside some time for yourself. We’re here to help you by providing you with support groups and resources to make this easier and more possible, no matter how busy you are in life.
