Every grief and pain is unique, so it is worth visiting a psychotherapist not so much to talk, but to get advice on how to act in a difficult situation for you.
If you don't have the budget for a doctor, you can look for free psychological help services. There are other options that can help you cope with the pain of the death of a loved one.
Accept your feelings
Don't suppress the pain - otherwise you may break down in the future, and in this case the consequences will be much more severe.
Don't be shy about emotions
In connection with the death of a loved one, you may feel not only sadness, but also anger - at yourself, others, and even the deceased. Channel it into something, such as drawing or music.
And please, make sure that the feeling of guilt does not last long and consume you.
Talk
Seek help from family and friends who will listen to you and help you cope with the tragedy.
You don't have to cry
Tears are not a necessary companion to grief. You may not shed a tear – at least not right away, since our brains need time to digest and comprehend sad news.
Find support early
You know in advance which dates will be the hardest for you - these could be birthdays, anniversaries, etc. On this day, be close to the person who will help you get through it.
