When experiencing a loss, it's helpful to have a few ideas that help to feel better right away. Here are a few tips.
1. Address stress. Unfortunately, stress accompanies grief. Pause, take a few breaths, stand up, touch your toes, and see what stresses can be let go today.
2. Text, call, email a friend and share feelings. Does that seem too hard? Instead ask them how they are feeling, what’s new in their lives. Reaching out to a good friend, even the smallest, friendliest act, can lighten a mood.
3. Write a loved one a letter. Even without sharing the letter with anyone, just writing it can help to work through grief.

When grief makes everything around you feel grey, use your family and friends as a “comfort blanket” to warm you up. They want to help and support you, so let them. Sharing tea, a simple meal, or even watching a movie together can bring you some small measure of comfort through feeling their love.

Surround yourself with positive people.

Makeup plays a starring role at many funeral services — the last time family members will physically see their loved ones before the casket is closed. While chemical companies manufacture makeup specifically for post-mortem use, several morticians prefer to reach for over-the-counter cosmetics, with some going as far as using a special airbrush kit.
