  1. Acknowledge your feelings — Name emotions without judgment; allow yourself to feel.
  2. Identify your place in common grief stages — Recognize feelings like denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, or acceptance.
  3. List three trusted contacts — Include friends, family, or a community member you can call.
  4. Reach out to one trusted person today — Call, text, or arrange a short visit—ask for specific support if needed.
  5. Save crisis and emergency contacts — Add local hotline, emergency services, and a close contact to your phone.
  6. Search and book a professional counsellor — Look for bereavement experience, availability, and ask about fees.
  7. Check bereavement leave and workplace support — Review policy, note deadlines, and speak with HR about options.
  8. Create a practical tasks timeline — List immediate actions and deadlines for bills, notifications, and arrangements.
  9. Gather important documents — Locate will, ID, insurance, bank statements, and funeral paperwork.
  10. Delegate one practical task to someone — Assign a manageable task (notify bank, cancel subscriptions) to a trusted person.
  11. Plan a simple tribute or memory activity — Choose something meaningful: a photo display, letter, or small ceremony.
  12. Set basic self-care habits (sleep, food, gentle movement) — Aim for small, consistent actions to stabilize daily life.
  13. Establish a simple sleep routine — Set a wind-down time and consistent wake time to aid rest.
  14. Schedule regular meals and hydrate — Plan easy meals and set water reminders to maintain energy.
  15. Add gentle movement each day — Short walks or stretches can help mood and reduce tension.
