Part of us wants to quickly move forward and skip past the painful times when grieving, while other parts want to go back in time when our loved ones were still alive. While we can’t go back or skip ahead, we can control what we do with our attention. Taking a few moments each day to participate in breathing exercises can help you focus on being present in the moment.

Spend this time to focus on self care for your mind, body, and spirit. Getting good sleep, eating nourishing food, and taking a few minutes each day to stay active will help both your body and mind when it comes to coping with loss. Make sure you do these activities with a positive attitude geared toward self-improvement.

Instead of fighting these feelings and emotions that you may experience, let go a little. Allow yourself to accept your new reality and do things a little differently than before.
Plan on how to approach the New Year. Navigating milestone ideas, setting up a game plan for times of crisis, and developing a strong support system can help reduce some anxiety.

A new marker in time, the transition from 2023 to 2024 can be rough for many people, especially those who’ve lost a loved one. Remember to keep the following in mind:
(1) Treat yourself with compassion. Acknowledge your grief and emotions without judgment or shame.
(2) Breathe. Stay mindful, and take a breath to honor those who are missing someone right now, including you.

During hard times, relying on friends and family can be sufficient for some, but it is okay to reach out to professionals for additional support. There are virtual options to speak to therapists and counselors from the comfort of your home. You can also find grocery delivery services and online exercise classes.
