How do you deal with loss in a healthy way? Some ways I've found helped me after big losses:
* Talking to people who love me, and finding at least one person who has the patience to listen to me over and over and over and over and over...
* Getting angry, knowing that I will have plenty of time to forgive and I don't have to do it now. Anger is energizing and healthier than depression, IMHO.
* Not turning to food because I end up feeling worse about myself when I overeat, and forgiving myself for any overindulgences while getting back on track.
* Posting here, there and everywhere as a way to vent and process my feelings.
Maybe you do the same kind of things. If you don't, try one or two - it may help you feel better.
