1. Going through it properly. It helps to be aware on where you are in your stages of grief and really taking your time and not rushing. There will be times you'll relapse but it still helps to be aware that you actually have relapsed. 2. Putting things in perspective. This may be in form of getting your priorities checked, identifying the right steps forward, and taking your babysteps in that path even if it sucks, even if you feel like shit, even if at times you can't do much, even if it feels like a plateau you can't get out of. 3. Being around people who are willing to listen to you. The right ones are the ones that are willing to listen to you but won't give you any unsolicited advice. It's tough to make life decisions too when you're emotional, sometimes you have to give it time to really digest where the fuck you are and where you're heading at. These may be your family, friends, acquaintances, even strangers. Express what you're going through, communicate it, tell the story about it, cry and laugh about it, embrace it. 4. Get some hookers and cocaine. Just kidding, feel free to let yourself unwind a bit BUT make sure you don't too far in a downward spiral of shitty life choices in making yourself feeling a little good. This includes eating shit food, not being physically active, not socializing, and even being dependent on drugs or whatever form of crutches. Please don't make those mistakes.
