Article: Don't be too hard on yourself and impose a timeline for getting over your loss. The Victorians took two to four years to mourn a death. While that doesn't have to be you, don't expect to be ready to get back into the swing of things after a few weeks, a month, or however much time you think you need. Instead, be patient with yourself and let go of the expectations you may have for yourself. Try to keep in mind that grieving is a process. You'll probably be grieving in some way for a long, long time, though hopefully it won't always be this intense. Work through it in your own time. Though it's normal to be depressed, remember that your parent loved you and wouldn't want this event to cripple your life forever. As you work through the loss, try to get back into doing the things you enjoyed before. Of course, this is easier said than done, but it doesn't mean that you should forget about the fact that your parent was happiest when you were happiest. This doesn't mean you have to sweep all of your negative feelings under the rug, but it does mean that you should make an effort to keep enjoying the little things as much as you can. Of course, if you feel completely devastated by the loss and unable to get back into the swing of things right away, don't let the memory of your parent make you feel guilty about not getting back on your feet. They will always have been a big part of your life no matter what, even if they have passed away. Write down your memories together because as you go on you probably don't want to forget those moments in your life. You just have to know that they will never leave that place in your heart. Take comfort in the memories you have of that person without obsessing over not remembering every little thing. Just do the best you can.  You can talk to the people who also knew your parent about him or her to keep the memory alive. You can also tell stories about the parent to people who did not know him or her, from time to time. You can also ask family members questions about your parent to help understand all of his or her life experiences. This can add a new layer to your relationship with your parent, and can make your memory of your parent even more vivid. Be a little more gentle on yourself than you usually would. Take extra time to relax, try to find constructive distractions, and shut down any self-criticism for now. Though you may be filled with too much grief to care about your own well-being, it's important to get at least seven to eight hours of sleep, eat three healthy meals a day, and to get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. It's likely that you'll be in need of energy because of your loss, and keeping your body in order will help you not feel so sluggish. Of course, sleeping and eating well won't help you forget your parent completely. But it will make it much easier for you to go about your daily life while dealing with your loss. It's important to be aware of when you'll be the most upset and to know that you'll need extra support. For example, if you lost your father, you may need to spend some extra time with your loved ones on Father's Day; if you lost your mother, then you may get upset during certain activities, like shopping, that you traditionally did with your mother. Knowing what will make you upset will help you prepare to not be alone during those times. It's true that there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, but that doesn't mean that you have to neatly go through each of those stages in order to truly deal with the loss of your parent. You may be angry or depressed first, feel denial later, or bargain after you feel depression, and there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone grieves in his or her own way, at his or her own time. Your parent's death may make you realize that your marriage is a lie, that your career is meaningless, or that you should drop everything and become a pineapple farmer in Hawaii. While all of these realizations may be true, you should avoid doing anything impulsive or acting on them until you feel ready to make a rational decision. Making big changes in your life probably won't help you get over your parent's death any faster, and you may end up doing something that you regret.

Grieve at your own speed. Accept that your parent would want you to keep living. Remember your parent. Take care of yourself. Know your triggers. Don't get too hung up on the five stages of grief. Avoid making any big decisions at first.
Article: Different places have different requirements. If you have to get a license, you will most likely need to have a high school diploma or a GED, along with graduation from an accredited cosmetology school. All U.S. states require hairdressers to have a cosmetology license. There, you will learn everything from basic hair-cutting to more complex styling and hair-coloring treatments. Be sure to read the requirements of your state or country before choosing your cosmetology school. For example, many states in the United States require a certificate from the National Accrediting Commission Of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) Consider taking some classes on other beauty-related subjects, such as makeup and doing manicures. The cosmetology exam usually has two components: a written, multiple-choice exam and a performance exam in which you can demonstrate your hair-styling skills to an evaluator. You can study for the exam through books, online study programs or software-based study guides. A good way to practice for your physical exam is by giving haircuts to your friends and family. This position is often a paid six-month or yearlong position at a salon, where you will be trained by hairdressers. There, you can practice the techniques you're learning from your cosmetology-school textbooks. The exam usually takes place at a state-assigned testing center. Once you've passed the exam, you will likely become a strong candidate for open positions at many salons. The best time to do this is while you are getting your hair cut, so that you don't distract your hairdresser from other clients. You can also try to set up a meeting with your hairstylist on a time and day when both of your are free. Be sure bring a pad of paper, something to write with, and questions you want to ask. Here are some ideas:  Did you have to take any special classes? If so, where? Did you have to get a license? What can I do to prepare for it? How long/how much did everything cost? Is there anything you can advise me on?
