Some actions you can take to help you cope with feelings of grief after the loss of a loved include from the CDC:

• Connecting with other people
  • Invite people to call you or host conference calls with family members and friends to stay connected.
  • Ask family and friends to share stories and pictures with you via mailed letters, email, phone, or video chat or via apps or social media that allow groups to share with each other (e.g., group chat, group messaging, Facebook).
  • Coordinate a date and time for family and friends to honor your loved one by reciting a selected poem, spiritual reading, or prayer within their own households.
• Creating memories or rituals.
  • Develop a virtual memory book, blog, or webpage to remember your loved one, and ask family and friends to contribute their memories and stories.
  • Take part in an activity, such as planting a tree or preparing a favorite meal, that has significance to you and the loved one who died.
• Asking for help from others
  • Seek out grief counseling or mental health services, support groups, or hotlines, especially those that can be offered over the phone or online.
  • Seek spiritual support from faith-based organizations, including your religious leaders and congregations, if applicable.
  • Seek support from other trusted community leaders and friends.

Here are some ways to cope with feelings of grief from the CDC:

• Acknowledge your losses and your feelings of grief.
  • Find ways to express your grief. Some people express grief and find comfort through art, writing, talking to friends or family, cooking, music, gardening or other creative practices.
• Consider developing new rituals in your daily routine to stay connected with your loved ones to replace those that have been lost.
  • People who live together may consider playing board games and exercising together outdoors.
  • People who live alone or are separated from their loved ones may consider interacting through phone calls and apps that allow for playing games together virtually.
• If you are worried about future losses, try to stay in the present and focus on aspects of your life that you have control over right now.
