Grief can be overwhelming and unexpected endings can cause strong negative emotions. Mental health experts say it's important to keep the following things in mind:
- Acknowledge the feelings of loss without judgment, allow yourself to feel sad.
- Stay connected and talk to friends and family -- call, video chat or meet outside with precautions
- Journaling can also help express feelings
- Create a new routine. Be sure to include exercise, hobbies and sleep.
- If you're struggling, reach out to a mental health professional for help.
