Sometimes grief hits us unexpectedly. Anything can catch you off guard.
It may be watching a football game with family, a song on the radio, or even a friend's perfume.

Here are some tips to help you cope:
1. Find a place to reflect in private
2. Reminisce about your relationship
3. Focus on the good
4. Allow yourself to feel a range of emotions

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.
