Stay connected with family and friends

During times of loss, friends and family are usually there and willing to help. Accept offers of help from loved ones. The more connected you are with others, the easier it will be for you to bounce back after your loss.

It definitely is a safer alternative to depend on friends and family than on any substances. Stay away from any kind of drugs or alcohol which you might assume will help you cope, but in reality will only make you feel a lot worse.
