When a loved one dies, you have a million and one emotions that go through your head.

Maybe you're mad at yourself for not having been on good terms with them or you're mad because you think you could've done something to help or you're just flat out grieving. Everyone reacts differently, but the best thing you can do for yourself and for your own sanity is to remember the love that the person gave.

You can't "get over" the death of a loved one.

In fact, you'll grieve forever. Losing a loved one will destroy you and after some time, you have to rebuild yourself and heal, but even then, you'll never be the same as you were before.

You'll always remember your loved one.

You'll remember their favorite TV show to watch, you'll remember how they drink their coffee in the mornings or how they'll only eat bacon if it's burnt. The things that seem so minuscule to anyone else are things that have the most important meaning to you and that is what you have to think about as you grieve.

Believe it or not, there's beauty in grieving and if you're grieving right now, you're probably finding it really hard to believe me, but, remember all the good times you had with your loved one. Remember all of the memories that you made because even though they may not be physically there with you anymore, you will always have those memories to cherish and to look back on.

There is no instruction booklet on how to grieve properly because, in fact, it's different for everyone.

Everyone has their own ways of dealing with the loss of a loved one and that is OK. It's never going to be "easy" and it's not something you can just shake off, but what you can do is take your time, move forward, and grow from it.

So, look back at the pictures you have framed (or not) of them.

Take a minute and remember the best times you had with your loved one or even sit down with other family members and have everyone talk about their favorite time(s) with that person.

In time, everything will be OK.
