Accept the truth

First of all, you have to accept this bitter truth. Think about the person you have lost. Remember and repeat in your mind that he/she is not going to come back now, but his/her good memories will always remain with you. Express your grief by writing something, painting or any artistic way. If you are not very interested in art, then you can also write a diary. When you put your sorrow in some art or diary, then the mind automatically becomes lighter.

Share your feelings

During this difficult time, you should share your feelings with your friends and family. Their support and love will help. Increasing social activity can prove beneficial. If you feel that you are unable to handle your feelings, then seeking help from a counselor or therapist can also be a good option.

Focus on a new goal

To overcome a big sorrow, you will need to divert your mind somewhere else. For this, try to set new goals in your life. Dreaming new dreams and thinking about fulfilling them will lead to new hopes and heights.

Do physical activity

Time heals every deep wound, for this it is important to know how to spend this time. At this time you have to remain physically and mentally healthy. In such a situation, doing yoga, meditation and exercise helps in keeping the mind calm. And most importantly, be patient. Everything gets better with time. To endure the pain, you have to awaken the strength and courage within you.

Think about fulfilling your wish

You know that the people you lost always thought well of you, and a true friend wants to see you prosper. Even if you think it is not possible. But they are always with you and will ease your pain. They will save you from falling, and if you fall, they will pick you up. They will always be in your heart, in your memories and near your being.
