"Humble yourself and change, you literally lost a daughter."

Speaking to Briefly News, Life Coach and Psychologist Penny Holburn said there are ways to deal with grief and loss of a loved one. She said:

"Go out and socialise. Write about and talk about the experience a lot. It helps to process the experience and deal with the emotions. After some time, you want to set small goals and start moving on with your life.

"Some people compose music or write a book or poem. You can have an item in your home as a reminder of them. You can have a yearly celebration for them."

Briefly News also spoke to Relationship Expert Paula Quinsee who spoke about dealing with public opinions while mourning a loved one. She said:

"If needed, limit social media, as it can be overwhelming at times. Don’t succumb to public opinions about how you “should” grieve - most people mean well but can cause more harm. Rather turn to a more supportive environment for support and healing."
