If you find yourself dealing with the sudden death of a family member, it can be extremely challenging to come to terms with the loss. In such a situation, there are different ways in which you can deal with emotions.

• Try to find solace in certain things that you like to do. 
   
• Keep yourself involved in daily activities so that it helps to keep your mind off the grief that you are feeling.
   
• You can also talk to your loved ones or very close friends and spend some time with them. Being in their company will give you a certain amount of support, which is crucial at a time like this.
   
• Do not try to contain your grief or box of your emotions as that will only hurt your mental and physical health. It is always better to talk about what you are feeling and never keep your feelings pent up inside.
   
• Despite doing these things, if you feel that you cannot handle the grief and sorrow, consider consulting a therapist. Since they are a third party, they have a very objective view and the professional expertise to provide you support and advice at a time like this. Ignoring the things you are feeling and shrugging them off as a temporary phase can only result in pain and stress.
   
• Know that every person deals with sudden death differently and heals at a different pace as well. This is why self-care is essential at a time like this.
   
• Make sure that you consume nutritious food and get a certain amount of exercise as it will keep you a little occupied. It will also help you maintain your energy levels to a certain degree
