Coping Strategies That Work

Get moving

Get outside and get some exercise.

Eat and drink

Make sure you get enough to eat and drink, and make healthy choices.

Rest

Make sure to take breaks and get enough sleep.

Meditate

Practice prayer, meditation or other rituals from your faith tradition. This can help you heal and find strength.

Seek support

Look for support from friends, family, neighbors, your faith community, and co-workers.

Nurture yourself

Become one with nature, take a bath, go to a concert, get a massage, be creative, garden, read, or perform any other activities that re-charge you.

Allow time off

Take time off from your routine, from your house, from your job, or even from your grieving for a while.

Play

Participate in sports, socialize with friends, go shopping, play video games, eat out, rent a movie, etc.

Use humor

Cultivate your sense of humor and seek opportunities to laugh or smile. Read the comics or watch a comedy.

Enjoy loved ones

Spend time with friends and family.

Write

Put your thoughts and feelings down on paper. It will help you heal.

Allow tears

Don’t forget that crying is normal and it’s healthy during the grieving process. Tears can act as a release.

Seek out grief support

Look into counseling and support groups. They can really help you while you grieve.

Prepare for difficult days

During holidays or other special days of the year, you should prepare by making a plan for how to make it through the day. Consider trying something new or changing tradition.

Help others

Reaching out people who are hurting, donating to charities or volunteering for good causes helps you feel a connection with others, which can help you to feel needed.

Memorialize

Look for ways to honor your loved one’s memory and to keep his or her spirit alive.
