Wellbeing at Hartpury 2021

Action Talking about your grief is an important part of getting through a bereavement. Sometimes the most unlikely person can actually offer the most support. If you’ve lost a family member, someone else in your family may also be good to open up to because they’re likely to understand how you’re feeling. A close friend can be a good listener and a source of comfort and support, even if they haven’t gone through this themselves. During a time of grief you may not feel like looking after yourself properly but it is important and the tips below might help: • Eating - try to keep eating as normal a diet as possible. • Sleeping - Getting a good nights sleep will help you to cope better. • Socialising - seeing your friends may help take your mind off the situation. • Don’t feel guilty about not thinking about the person you’ve lost. • Exercising - regular exercise can make you feel good and help you sleep. • Avoid smoking, drinking and taking drugs – they will make you feel worse.
