Tips on handling the loss of the loved one

Loss of loved one is of the most difficult periods to move on. Along with the grief, there are so many things to be done such as preparing for the funeral, finishing the paperwork, working out the kinks of possessions of property or more. However, through all the grief and pain, we forget to take care of ourselves. The death of the loved ones drains the person emotionally and physically. It is very important you take care of yourself. Here are a few tips from Michael Scarpaci, owner of Scarpaci funeral homes in New York:

• Relax:- There are so many things and formalities to be done when a loved one dies. While we know it's difficult, it is important to relax. Take a deep breath, take a few moments alone and try to clear your mind. You will have to make a conscious effort to do so. 
• Acceptance:- Another thing you need to do is accept the inevitable. You have to accept that your loved one is gone. Identify your thoughts and feelings. Try and be aware of them. Understand your challenges and work through it, little by little. 
• Understand your limitations:- You are human and humans make mistakes. You won’t be able to handle everything. Don’t be too critical of yourself. Be kind to yourself and your family members. Your loved one is gone. There is no point in blaming another person for it. Know when you are having a bad day and treat yourself just the way you want others to treat you.
• Exercise:- The activity of exercise release happy hormones that not only make you happy but also boosts the memory. With regular exercise, you will be able to improve your mood, reduce stress and anxiety.
• Hobbies:- It is important to take your mind off the grief. A new hobby or renewed old hobby will give you a creative outlet. This will increase your interest and confidence.
• Healthy diet:- Often in the times of grief, we are not able to eat right or depend too much on the fast food. Exercise and a healthy diet go hand in hand. Good food will give you increased energy. You will be in a better mood. This will also increase your ability to cope.

The loss of a beloved is inevitable. However, you have to remember that you cannot let grief overcome you.
