• There is no correct way to feel following the
  death of a partner. Many factors in?uence your
  response, including the length and happiness of
  your marriage, how your spouse died, the age of
  your children (if you have them), and how reliant
  you were on each other.
• You can feel numb, stunned, heartbroken, or
  anxious. You may feel guilty for being the only
  one who is still living, or you may feel happy
  that your partner is no longer in pain. You may
  even be resentful of your spouse for leaving you.
  You may or may not weep a lot. Your way of
  grieving is unique to you.
• Take care of your health
• Grieving may be physically as well as emotionally
  taxing. You may have no appetite or dif?culty
  sleeping. It may be easier said than done, but
  try to take care of yourself by eating
  healthily, exercising regularly, and sleeping
  suf?ciently. Avoid soaking your sorrows by
  drinking excessively, as this might aggravate
  your suffering.
• Create or ?nd the support system
• There are several methods for grieving and
  learning to accept the loss. Avoid ignoring your
  pain. Support may be given until you are able to
  cope with your loss on your own. It is
  especially vital to get assistance with your loss
  if you are feeling overwhelmed or sad as a
  result of it.
• Family and kind friends may be a huge help. They,
  too, are mourning, and some individuals ?nd that
  sharing memories is one way to support one
  another. Feel free to tell me about the person
  who has passed away. People are sometimes
  hesitant to bring up the loss or mention the
  deceased person's name for fear of offending
  someone. However, many may ?nd it bene?cial to
  communicate openly about their loss. You're all
  dealing with the loss of someone close to you.
• Get accommodated to your social life
• It might be dif?cult to navigate your social life
  as a single person. If you and your husband used
  to mingle with other couples on a regular basis,
  you may be unsure of how to ?t in anymore. Going
  to parties and other gatherings alone may make
  you feel embarrassed. Explain to your pals how
  you feel and that you may need to skip "couples"
  dinner parties and get-togethers for a bit and
  instead visit friends
• one-on-one.

  pleasant opportunity to make new acquaintances.

  get you out of the home and doing something
  worthwhile.

  through their grief. Regular talk therapy with a
  bereavement therapist or psychotherapist can help
  people accept death and, eventually, begin a new
  life.

  individuals assist one another. These groups can
  be specializedfor example, for parents who have

  sorrow. To discover support groups in your
  region, contact religious organisations, local
  hospitals, nursing homes, funeral homes, or your
  doctor.

  your own. It may be dif?cult to consider
  attending parties or other social gatherings by
  oneself. It's dif?cult to imagine arriving home
  alone. You could be nervous about dating. Many
  individuals miss the connection that marriage
  provides. After a while, some people are ready to
