So what do I do to cope with the anger

1. I allow myself to be angry. Anger is a sign of grief. It is a sign that I am going through the grief cycle.
2. I talk to friends who understand that grief and who understand that I need to be angry.
3. I then put on some music that makes me smile, I sing at the top of my voice and just the upbeat music lightens the mood.

Now step 3 won’t work for all but in essence I think we cope with grief if we accept the anger, allow the anger out and then find something that takes the anger away, something that makes us smile……Cindy hope you are feeling better today.

I believe the more we understand grief, the more we understand how our emotions are natural, the greater the chance that we start to move through the grief cycle.

3 Tips I would say when reading articles

• After reading the grief article – write down one learning that you will incorporate into your life.
• Whilst reading about bereavement, try not to think about the loss, but the gains you have had for being in love and having a relationship that has brought so much happiness.
• Print out the articles and highlight the key sentences. Use the sentences as a screensaver or on a post it note on your fridge. Anything to remind yourself that you are not on your own, that your feelings are normal and that you WILL get through this grieving process
