If you need help, hire a daily money manager (not a relative).
🔐 Your money is your autonomy. Protect it fiercely.
❌ 4. Don’t Neglect Your Health
In grief, self-care often vanishes:
Skipping meals
Missing doctor appointments
Stopping medications
Ignoring new symptoms
But your body grieves too. Stress weakens immunity, raises blood pressure, and worsens chronic conditions.
✅ What to do instead:
Schedule a full physical within 3 months of your loss.
Set phone reminders for meds and meals.
Walk 10 minutes a day—movement processes grief.
Tell your doctor: “I’m grieving.” They’ll monitor you more closely.
❤️ Caring for your body is how you honor the life you still have.
