Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Learning to Cope with GriefMost of us will experience periods of grief at some point in our lives. This can be due to the death of a loved one, having to give up something or someone we care deeply for, or experiencing a difficult decision that may produce anger or sadness. In addition, grief can impair immune function and negatively affect your health. It is important that you make an effort to take care of yourself at those times, to get some exercise daily and to eat healthy, balanced meals. When grief becomes overwhelming, the best thing to do is seek grief counseling, which can help you work through the pain, and find acceptance and meaning in your experience. Spiritual counseling can also be helpful, as can medication; discuss these choices with your physician.
