The 7 stages of grief

• Shock and denial. This is a state of disbelief and numbed feelings.
• Pain and guilt. ...
• Anger and bargaining. ...
• Depression. ...
• The upward turn. ...
• Reconstruction and working through. ...
• Acceptance and hope.

How to handle loss

• Get enough sleep. Set aside 7 to 9 hours each night for sleep.
• Avoid skipping meals. If you don’t feel hungry, choose nutritious snacks and small meals of mood-boosting foods.
• Hydrate. Drink plenty of water.
• Keep moving. Stay active to energize yourself and help raise your spirits. Even a daily walk can help.
• Aim for moderation. If you drink alcohol, try to stay within recommended guidelines. It’s understandable to want to numb your pain, but increased alcohol use can have health consequences.
• Reset. Rest and recharge with fulfilling hobbies, such as gardening, reading, art, or music.
• Be mindful. Meditating or keeping a grief journal can help you process emotions.
• Speak up. Talk to your healthcare provider about any new physical or mental health symptoms. Reach out to friends and other loved ones for support.
