Su***de bereavement, like any loss, will take time to process and each person will cope in their own way. It is important not to compare your process to others. You might find some of these suggestions helpful:

• Acknowledge and accept your feelings - you may feel a variety of emotions such as grief, despair, anger, guilt, denial, shock, confusion, loneliness, anxiety. All feelings are a normal part of the grieving process.

• Care for yourself – do your best to eat well, stay hydrated, exercise and get quality sleep. Taking care of your physical and emotional self will help you get through each day.

• Stay connected and accept support from friends, family and support networks.

• You may want to honour the deceased person– talk about them, share memories/photos or practice any spiritual or cultural activities that are meaningful to you.

• Consider joining a su***de bereavement group – sharing your experience with others who have been through similar loss might be helpful for you to connect and feel less alone.

• Ask for help - talk to a counsellor/psychologist, a helpline like Lifeline, friends and family,

For support, contact Lifeline via our phone service on 13 11 14 (24 hours, 7 days) or via our online text service 0477 13 11 14 or chat service (https://www.lifeline.org.au/crisis-chat) (also 24 hours, 7 days).

We love this illustration created by , highlighting the power of the breath. Often the most self- compassionate thing that you can do regularly throughout your day is pause, notice your breath pattern and if needed - take a few deep breaths to return to a place of feeling centered and in tune with your body, mind, spirit 🙏🏽

Our breath is our lifeline. It’s the one thing we ceaselessly do that keeps us alive, but also brings us self-awareness.

When you’re anxious? The breath gets short.

Scared? You may hold your breath

Happy? The breath is long but quick.

Luckily it does all this without us needing to pay much attention to it, giving us mental space to go about days and do wondrous things.

But when life seems a bit much, and you begin to feel out of control, take a moment and notice your breath. It has so much insight to offer that we too often pass right over, but ultimately we ARE in control over it.

So take a moment and focus on your breath, snd if it is short, try lengthening it, and see how different your mind and body feel 💗

The trying to control things outside of your control is a struggle that never ends. Focus on what is inside of your sphere of control- you.
