•    Give yourself a few days to pine.
•    Surround yourself with loved ones- they will selflessly rush to our aid. They may not take responsibility for an infinite period but will do their best for the first few days that follow. Allow them to take over because you’re going to be in a state of shock and they can function a hundred times better than you.  They’ll also help you feel a bit better. Although you may want to be alone it’s better not to because it reminds you that although you lost a loved one, your blessed with more
•    Take note that the person is dead- no amount of self-blame or anger can bring the person back and that they’re gone for good. Comfort yourself with the fact that when the person was alive that you were good to them, you spent time with them; you loved them and did all you could.
•    Realize that death never changes the relationship we’ve had- the memories we have of the person who’s now gone will always stay the same and becomes even more precious with time.
•    Talk about it- when enough time has elapsed and life becomes a bit normal again spend time and talk about your grief with someone that would listen. Someone who’s been through the same experience is always better. This is a necessary process by which we would start to accept our loss.

This is a really good tactic. Usually when people lose a loved one they dont know what to do. They feel like their whole life fell apart. And they feel like the misery they're in wont ever go away. I hate that feeling.

Everyone has different ways to cope with greif and some handle it healthier than others. But some end up being so caught up in that they are unable to function for quite a while. Thank you for sharing that information. I hope I never will have to use it but when time comes I want to live by these steps and handle my grief in a healthy way.

I think surrounding yourself with people who love you is probably the best.  They are most likely feeling the same way you are, and you can talk about the your loss and also share feelings.  Having my best friend's shoulder to cry on was a great way to deal with my grief.
