Grief Awareness Day

Posted by: Kelly Ryan in Grief and Guidance | August 26, 2022

Grief manifests in each of us differently. Some of us try to isolate ourselves whereas some even make jokes about their pain. It is important to understand the way that you process grief and to be aware that others process it in their own way.

With National Grief Awareness Day coming up August 30th, we’d like to share a few tips for helping you grieve and for supporting others who are grieving.

Tips for Those Who Are Grieving

Do an Activity for Your Mental Health that You Enjoy

Think of activities you like to do and make a list of them. This way when you’re feeling too sad to think of something that would pick you up, then you can grab that list and choose an activity from it. It doesn’t even need to be a fun activity, calming and relaxing activities are great for mental health as well.

Let Yourself Feel the Grief

We as humans tend to avoid and repress anything that makes us feel sad, but that can be unhealthy. Many people abuse substances to stop themselves from thinking about their pain, but it makes you feel worse in the long run. Allow yourself to think about your loved one and all your memories of them so you can start to process your grief and begin to heal.

Do Something to Honor your Loved One – Alone or with Others

Was there an activity like a daily ritual or a volunteering event they used to participate in? A great way to feel closer with our departed is to do some of the things they used to like to do. You get an insight into their life, the things that they enjoyed, and you feel closer to your departed loved one.

Tips to Help a Loved One Who Is Grieving

Help Them with Tasks

When in a mourning state, it is easy to neglect basic tasks. The dishes start to pile up, the house gets dirty, and the person grieving feels like the world is falling apart around them. Helping them complete around-the-house chores makes them feel less overwhelmed and able to focus on healing. Bringing food is a great alternative as well, since sometimes people's pride makes them less open to others doing their housework.

Help Them Find Grief Resources

There are plenty of grief resources out there, but a person who is grieving isn’t as likely to seek them out for themselves. That’s where you can help them do that research. One example of a great resource center is Grief.com. This website not only produces its own grief resources, like blogs and podcasts, but also links to other resources, like movies about grief.

Simply, be There for Them – Listen, Talk, Check in, Whatever They Need

No one wants to feel alone in their time of grief. It doesn’t mean you have to make grand gestures or do anything huge, but even simply sitting and chatting lets them know that you’re there for them. It’s comforting to have family and friends going out of their way to check in on you and it validates your feelings of grief that it is worthy of feeling the way you do.

BEST AND FAST LOTTERY/LOTTO SPELL 2023....

I am Richard Wahl of Sussex county, I want to use this opportunity to thank Dr.BALBOSA, the best lottery priest, for helping me win the $533,000,000 Mega Millions jackpot. It was the largest lottery prize won in New Jersey and one of the biggest across the nation...I have been playing lottery for the past 8 years now and the only big money I won was $800 ever since then I have not been able to win again and I was in so many debts. I needed help to win the lottery again so I decided to go to a friend called Robert, he introduced me to Dr. BALBOSA because they live in the same city and he has also helped him win the lottery before...
Dr. BALBOSA cast a lottery spell for me and gave me all the relevant instructions which I followed accordingly... to my greatest surprise the next day I won $533,000,000 MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT ticket. This is indeed a miracle and I promise to always share this great testimony...
CONTACT DR. BALBOSA from any part of the world and he will make you win...

It's a privilege to share this miraculous testimony to the world. I'm Beth Walters from England. My husband divorced me 4 months back and I have been filled with remorse for I didn't know what to do to amend issues with my husband. I searched for help on the internet on how I could get help in my marriage and I discovered great testimonies about Priest Ade who has been progressive with his spells. I got in touch with him and behold, Priest Ade told me that he will prepare a spell for me that will bring back my husband. I was skeptical but I had no other option but to work with him. 2 days later, my husband called me to say that he's coming back home and from that day till this moment, we have been living peacefully. He is back now with so much love and caring. today i am glad to let you all know that this spell caster has the power to bring lovers back and the most surprising thing is that our love is very strong now,every day is happiness and joy. and There is nothing like being with the man you love. I will highly recommend Priest Ade to anyone one out there who needs help whatsoever. If you have any problem contact Priest Ade, i give you 100% guarantee that he will help you!!.

He restored my broken relationship and brought my ex back to me. I have been with a broken heart for the past 6 months after my boyfriend broke up with me but after I have saw online about Dr Ilekhojie, I was really pleased to contact him. He told me what i needed to do and he performed the reconciliation spell and within 48 hours, Andy returned and started asking for forgiveness. I want to appreciate Dr Ilekhojie for his great help.

I can’t believe that with just a contact to Dr. Todd, I got my ex husband back. I had read some stuff about Manifest Temple before i contacted him but i didn’t know that all those stuff were so accurate until i got my husband back, After getting my ex husband back i taught it wise to share my testimony with everyone on this website that how Dr. Todd was able to get my husband back with his powerful reunion love spell. That rebuild my broken marriage. All my hope has been fully restored and am happy to share my experience to everyone. Do feel free to Contact Dr. Todd via email if having any challenge with marriage or relationship at: (manifestspellcast@gmail.com) I so much believe he can also help out with his powers.

My name is CLARA JAMES .I want to give thanks to PRIEST WISDOM for bringing back my ex husband.No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic.

My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn't face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again . I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather they got in contact with PRIEST WISDOM.He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. PRIEST WISDOM makes him realize how much we love and need each other .This man is for REAL and for good . He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back!
