Helpful Tips to Cope with Grief and Loss

Understand Feelings of Grief and Loss
It’s normal to feel different emotions and grieve in different ways. You may feel a combination of 
shock, fear, sorrow, anger, regret, confusion, or numbness - and that’s okay.

Understand Grief
Grief is a range of emotions and a journey to adapting to a life that is different. As time goes 
by, feelings related to grief may change and lessen. There is no normal timetable for grieving. 
Whatever your grief experience, it’s important to be patient with yourself, healing happens 
gradually. Talking about feelings and getting emotional support can be effective.

Cope with Grief
Take it one day at a time. Stick to a healthy routine of sleeping, eating, and physical activity. 
Talk about your emotions and be open to receiving support from others. When you feel ready, reflect 
on the person’s legacy. Ask yourself questions like:
1. What lessons did they pass along to you?
2. How did they impact your life?
3. How are you different because of knowing them?
4. How can you continue that legacy?

Support Someone Grieving
Be an active listener and dedicated supporter; don’t make it about yourself or your own 
experiences. Encourage healthy coping strategies and support through the campus clinic or 
TimelyCare, if necessary. Seek immediate help if you notice these signs of distress:
1. Unable to care for themselves - cannot complete daily tasks.
2. Talking about suicide or suicidal ideation.
3. Expressing hopelessness, feeling trapped, unbearable pain, being a burden to others, wanting to 
seek revenge, extreme anger or rage, and/or extreme mood swings.
4. Using alcohol or other drugs, sleeping too much or too little, and/or isolating or withdrawing 
from life completely.
