How to help yourself through this time

• Watch your thoughts. Keep reminding yourself that others have been through this and have survived

• Get the support of your boss (if you are working), and your family doctor

• Keep an eye on your diet and physical health…keep strong!

• Work out a new routine and stick to it

• Don’t overdo it on substances like coffee, cigarettes or alcohol

• Don’t be afraid to use the support of family friends, but also make sure you have time alone with the children

• Get out of the house at some point everyday

• Get into the routine of chatting to someone close to you about your feelings
