COPING - Simple Techniques:

CONTROL STRESS -
You CAN control stress, pressures, strain or tension.  Become aware of what causes stress and reduce them.

REDUCE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS FOR YOURSELF -
Be realistic of what you can do.

REDUCE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS OF OTHERS -
Others are not you.  They may feel, "You should be over this by now!"  You may need to be openly honest and express your needs for support and caring.

USE COMMON SENSE -
Eat 3 meals a day, sleep 8 hours a night, work, be active, take time for your needs.

TAKE TIME TO PRAY

RECOGNIZE SPECIAL DAYS THAT REMIND YOU OF YOUR LOSS -
Plan for them by inviting others to be with you on these days.
Create new traditions and make new memories.
