When you get married, you\u2019re signing on for a partner for life. But sadly, death often gets in the way of this plan. That\u2019s why the death of a spouse is traumatic and stressful. From dealing with the emotional fallout to planning a service at a funeral home in Fleming Island, FL<\/a> the stress of losing your spouse can have a severe impact on your emotional and physical health.<\/p>\n

These tips can help you deal with the loss of a spouse in a healthy and healing-driving manner.<\/p>\n

Grief can have both physical and psychological symptoms. You may feel exhausted or in pain after losing a spouse or may find it difficult to think clearly or process your emotions. Many people try to numb themselves to deal with the pain of loss by turning to drugs or alcohol. This is unhealthy in the long run. Instead, take care of yourself by eating right, exercising, sleeping, and talking to a therapist if you so choose.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that grief can cloud judgement or lead you to rash decisions. Try to avoid making major decisions after losing a spouse as you might not be thinking clearly after the loss. Put off decisions regarding moving or quitting a job till later, as any decision you make will be clouded by the loss of your spouse and might not be the best choice in the long run. Remembering and memorializing a lost loved one, and especially a spouse, can go a long way towards healing as it allows you to reflect on the good memories, love, and happiness in a healthy way. You can make a memorial with a cremation urn, photographs, or custom art.<\/p>\n

You need to acknowledge the loss. It\u2019s easy to allow yourself to get lost in the planning and details of a death, like planning a cremation<\/a> service, and not allow yourself to feel your emotions. However, it\u2019s important to take time to acknowledge the loss and let yourself begin to process it. Letting yourself mourn and deal with the fact that your life has changed is the healthiest way to proceed. You do need to plan for your spouse\u2019s personal belongings. Take as much time as you need before taking this step but do plan for your spouse\u2019s personal belongings at some point in your grieving process. It\u2019s important to move on in the way that\u2019s right for you, so do whatever feels right, whether it\u2019s putting the items into storage, donating them to a charity, selling them, or leaving them where they are.<\/p>\n
