- Remember to breathe!
- Have your loved ones come to support you
- If you feel like you're going to go out of control, call your doctor for medication
- Make sure you tell your doctor what other medications you are taking
- Do not act on the urge to join your deceased loved one. (That crossed my mind many times. I just wanted to go get Jeff and bring him back)
- Realize: YOU ARE IN SHOCK
- Shock lasts anywhere from a week to a year. Everyone comes out of it in their own time
- Move slowly and be careful of how you move. (I jumped in the shower and as I was later drying my hair my finger went right through the back of the hair dryer. I was holding it so tight and was unaware how upset I actually was. Blood everywhere! I didn't even realize what had happened until I SAW the blood! Just be careful is all I am saying.)
- Remember, this is going to fucking hurt and it will for a long time.
- There are coping skills you CAN acquire to deal with the days when the freight train runs right through you.
- You may be shredded now, and if you get insanely angry make sure to NOT harm others or yourself through the anger
