When you lose a loved one, it’s important to know that grief is a normal part of life. Everyone deals with loss in their own way, but there are recommendations on how to best cope with grief and loss.  Lanham–Schanhofer Funeral Home in Sparta, Wisconsin understands how difficult the grieving process can be. They have compiled some helpful suggestions for coping with loss, hoping you can find comfort:

  • Seek Support: Death affects many people, including in your family and community, and talking to other relatives, friends, or a grief counselor can be vital to begin the healing process. If you are responsible for arranging a funeral, asking others for help to find a local funeral home and take care of the necessary funeral arrangements can make a seemingly impossible task more manageable.

  • Find Comfort In Your Faith: If you are religious, your rituals such as praying or attending church may provide comfort. Speaking with clergy or members of your religious community can also help you find solace after a loss.
  • Stay Active: Good physical health helps you regain good emotional health, so try getting some exercise, go to sleep on a normal schedule, and eat a healthy diet. Avoid using alcohol or drugs, because they block the pain but do not help you deal with it.
  • Heal Your Own Way: Don’t let anyone say how you should be acting or feeling after a loss. Let yourself feel whatever you really feel. It’s ok to cry, to laugh, to yell at the sky, or whatever you need to do.

When it comes time to lay your loved one to rest, Lanham-Schanhofer Funeral Home is there for you with caring, compassionate funeral services. They can be reached by phone at (608) 269-6666 and you can learn about their grounds and services on their website.
