You may decide to try new or unconventional ways to cope. Adjusting to a loved one's death means exploring ways that are helpful to you in your unique circumstance. You may not be able to sleep, or sleep too much. You may also notice changes in your eating patterns such as poor appetite or a desire to overeat. Some of your changes in behavior can include low motivation and decreased ability to concentrate. You may have headaches, stomach upsets or a lump in your throat or chest. You may experience many symptoms of grief which include feelings of sadness, anger, fear, guilt, loneliness or even relief. You're now in the "grieving zone." It is an unfamiliar and uncomfortable place to be. It's as if your coping and stress management skills vanish or just don't work anymore. After the death of a loved one, our initial concern may be, "How will I survive? How will I make it without my loved one?" Your whole world changes, nothing is the same and things just don't seem to fit.
