    • Gather your support group. Your support group consists of people who can lend you emotional, physical, or financial support in getting through the death of your parents.
    • Allow the expressions of grief. Once having lost both of your parents, in an instant, your life has forever changed. You no longer have anyone who remembers every aspect of your life from when you were born, who remembers what you were like as a child, or knows the struggles you went through growing up.
    • Reach out for help. There’s a lot of emotional suffering that you’ll go through once grief sets in. After the shock and numbness wears off, you might find yourself feeling emotions that you’ve never before experienced and may not know how to handle.
    • Find your safe zone. Having a place to go to where you are safe to express your grief will help you especially at times when pain and sorrow overtake you.
