At some point in our lives, we all experience loss. It may be the end of a relationship, being let go from a job, losing a home, or the death of a loved one. It is natural to go through a grieving process. By looking for opportunities in adversity or remembering the good things about who or what we’ve lost, we can help ourselves recover mentally and emotionally.

• Try to see your experience as a strength. When bad things happen, they can be painful to go through, but as you continue to live your life without the person, thing, or situation you once had, you become a stronger person. Going through a loss and learning to carry on helps give you the skills to deal with tough situations in the future.
• Learn from others. You are not alone! there may be support groups in your community to help you get through whatever loss or tragedy you’ve gone through. If you’re not ready to talk about things face-to-face or can’t find the right kind of support group, the internet is full of places where you can gather online to talk about your shared experiences. Share your story. Ask questions about how other people got through tough times to remind yourself that if they can do it, you can too!
• Sometimes loss opens us up to new possibilities. You may feel guilty or selfish at first for exploring these thoughts, but there is nothing wrong with looking for ways to improve or change your life after something tragic has happened. You may free up time to spend more time with friends or pursue interests that you’ve been putting on the back burner. If you’ve lost your home to disaster, you might consider relocating to that place you’ve always dreamed of living in. 
• Remember the good times. When you’ve lost something, you love, it is almost automatic to focus on the pain that you are feeling about your loss. By remembering the good times, you had in a certain place, with a pet, or with a person you’re practicing gratitude for having had those experiences. It can be even more helpful to have someone else who is sharing your loss join you in reminiscing. Maybe you’ll even be able to share a laugh together.
• Do what makes you happy. Pampering yourself can help you remember how to feel good after dealing with a negative or tragic situation and bring you back to a place where you can appreciate all the positive things that life has to offer. You might choose to do something exciting or something relaxing-it’s all about doing whatever you love.
• Find ways to honor your loss. By memorializing the loss of a loved one, you help keep their memory alive. you may choose to do something that reminds you of them.
