So many people are coping with loss, and somtimes losses come one right after another. You may be experiencing bereavement overload. You barely have time to cope or reconcile one loss when another hits. Here are some tips to help you navigate multiple losses:

• practice self care


• journal


• surround yourself with people you love, as well as those who love you


• spend time with people who make you laugh

• be of service to others


• stay connected


• be a lifelong learner
