Bonnie Carroll, who was inspired to found the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) after her husband died in a military plane crash, offers some tips on coping with the death of a loved one:
- Don’t consider your feelings of physical and emotional grief as weaknesses; these reactions are natural to a traumatic loss.
- Keep in mind that you have loved ones who can help you cope and make all the preparations.
- Try not to work yourself up; lay down and sleep.
