9 Grief Healing Tips
Grief is a natural and necessary process that we all experience at some point in our lives. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or something else, grief can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. But it is possible to overcome grief and move forward in your life. Here are some tips that may help:
- Allow yourself to feel your emotions. It's important to acknowledge and validate your feelings, rather than trying to suppress them or push them away.
- Take care of yourself. Grief can take a physical toll on your body, so make sure you are eating well, getting enough sleep, and exercising.
- Seek support. Talking to a therapist, counselor, or support group can help you process your grief and find ways to cope.
- Find ways to remember your loved one. Whether it's through journaling, creating a memory book, or volunteering in their honor, finding ways to honor and remember your loved one can be a powerful way to cope with grief.
- Be patient with yourself. Grief is a process, and it can take time to heal. Be kind and patient with yourself as you navigate this journey.
- Take a break from stressors. Being around people or places that trigger memories can be overwhelming. Take some time for yourself, and try to limit your exposure to these triggers as much as possible.
- Practice self-care. Grief can take a physical and emotional toll, so make sure to take care of yourself by eating well, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring you joy.
- Allow yourself to laugh and enjoy life again. It's normal to feel guilty for enjoying life after a loss, but it's important to remember that it's okay to laugh and find joy again. In the case of losing a loved one, see YOU through THEIR eyes… they want to see you happy again.
- Connect with others who have experienced loss. Knowing that you are NOT alone in this is a big step towards healing. I would encourage you to join one of my upcoming Group Reading sessions online to experience proof that love never dies. .
Remember, everyone's experience with grief is unique, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Be kind to yourself and know that healing is possible.

Love and light to all who are suffering with pain. This list is so true and I do the best I can daily. After almost loosing my life in ICU there for a week, my heart is not the same. I will be seeing a heart doctor and lets hope and pray I’ll be ok. Everyone please do follow this list, cause it’s what I’ve done to get over the whole family and last one to go was my son of 38.

I love listing to you & reading your stuff. I lost my son & daughter I n law & you comfort me.. Thank you so much..
Talking to others about the good memories and how he kept us laughing and was always there when we needed him helps put a smile on my face reminiscing of all those happy times
Talking to him daily as if he never passed cause I know he is listening hearing others stories and how they feel helps me want to help them which in turn helps me
Thou it is hard everyday and some days really hard I know he is with me always and will greet me when it is my turn
Still to this day, I use all 9.grief never goes away.
TY for sharing , the one thing everyone has a difficult time with is dealing with a loss, at time unbearable.
Thank you, Blair, I’m going to save this.
All very important things to do. It’s hard to remember to put them into practice sometimes. Thank you for the reminder.

Great advice Blair.
Sometimes we need to be reminded.
Thank you.
Thank you Blair, My husband passed 21\2 years ago! It has been the hardest thing I have ever experienced. I appreciate the help through the grieving process.
Thank you Blair.
Good Tips.
Blair, I am so thankful to have been guided to find you! In exactly 1 month will be the 2nd year that I celebrate my PRECIOUS son’s spirit birthday. The hardest thing to do is to continue to live when a part of you dies. I just pray you know the good you are doing for us that are brokenhearted. The 2 group sessions I’ve attended have helped me so much and I look forward to more healing coming from spirit thru you! I pray to one day have a special messaged delivered from my PRECIOUS SONSHINE thru YOU! And I’m so thankful you’re still here after that horrific accident with the car!! Much love to you!!
Thank you so much for this. Sometimes, what is needed is validation that it is okay to continue life after a beloved is gone.
Time goes by so quickly but of course you realize this more when you get older and more people you love pass away. It doesn’t get any easier, the pain is real. The grieving tips you have mentioned will certainly help, but the one that helped me the most was going to one of your events and my mom coming through. You have no idea how this healed me. So those days when I have memories of my mom and the tears start to fall I think of what you told me that night and it doesn’t hurt as much, and of course I always remember your famous saying, Love Never Dies”
Thank you Blair, I needed this today a great reminder how to cope with our grief journey ❤️
All very good advice, but somedays I just want to envelope myself in memories and grief. These days are getting less frequent, but as an only, single
” child” of 62, my parents have been my life and I theirs. I can’t wait to be with them again!
Such good advice! Thank you again for sharing

Thank you so very much for sharing this!
I love this I write stories about my dad and also I keep a journal of my life good things and struggles I’ve had and when it’s my time to go each of my sons will get a copy as their may be things they didn’t know about my childhood etc and this way they can always read about me and know I’m still here with them and they will have things to tell my grandkids about me
These are all good advice and tips. I have done all of them, and it helps. It has been a year since my son passed away from a cardiac arrest
Thank you for posting these tips.
