Someone once said that self-care is a lot like taking vitamins or flossing. You know you should do it, but most of us just don’t do it. Or at least not on a regular basis.

We’re stressed, tired, and overwhelmed with responsibilities at home and work. Plus, because you’re reading this, there’s also a good chance that you’re going through a period of grief.

Even if someone close to you has been suffering from some sort of sickness before passing on, it always seems that death comes in an instant, turning everyone’s lives upside down.

Initially, you won’t have time to take everything in. Those first few days are full of preparations, like funeral arrangements, eulogies, and other distractions.

Yet, at some point, you’re going to have to face reality. Then, once the loss really hits home, it can be too much to bear.

Then, you try to reach out, and you find out the hard way that people don’t like being around you when you’re sad. They don’t do it out of spite; they just don’t know how to help.

So, they avoid the topic altogether, which leaves the bereaved feeling isolated and even sadder.

The good news is that there are numerous ways of self-care ideas to help you during times of grief. But because everyone deals with grief, sadness, and loss in their own way, we rounded up five primary ways to take care of yourself in times of mourning.
