    1. \n
      Vent it out:\u00a0<\/b>Talk about your loss <\/b>to friends, family<\/span><\/span>\u00a0or a professional. Talking is one of the best form of venting and help\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>grieve better.<\/span><\/span>Do not try to hold back or hide the sentiments. If one feels like crying, embrace it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Be patient:\u00a0<\/b>Grieving requires time and energy<\/span>\u00a0as it is an important\u00a0process. We are wounded and will take time to heal but in the process give yourself good sleep, nourished food and adequate breaks for better emotional stability.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Stay with the feeling:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Grieving is a natural process<\/span>. It is absolutely okay to feel sad at a loss. Do not avoid the feeling, it will eventually pass. Forceful involvement at work will only leave us with very\u00a0little time for the grieve work that is necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

      1. Channelize your anger: <\/b>Anger is one of the most common response of grief. Do not\u00a0suppress it for it will keep coming back. Instead channel the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0anger into constructive actions. Like volunteer work, sports, group involvement.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Write a letter: <\/b>Give yourself a change to express.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span><\/span>he grief process is highly individual.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Not everyone is able to talk\u00a0about\u00a0grief. Writing a letter to oneself or the one\u00a0who is lost can help get you some relief. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      3. \n
        \n
        Share mutual support:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Talk about your loved one at holidays when his or her absence is most obvious. Don\u2019t avoid it\u00a0with the thought of\u00a0spoiling\u00a0the festivities. This is the perfect time to\u00a0check in with other family members about how they’re doing with grief work, and share mutual support.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      4. \n
        Take care of yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Grieving puts a heavy burden of stress on the body. It can lead to disturbed sleep patterns, depression, weaken our immune system, and other medical problems.\u00a0Take prescribed medications and get regular check-ups.
