article: You will get a lot of sympathy, advice, and feedback when you're grieving. Unfortunately, not all of it is helpful. People are rarely trying to be hurtful or insensitive when they say the wrong thing. They may simply be unsure of how to help. It's appropriate to respectfully let people know when they're not being helpful. You can also tell them how they can better help you cope with your grief.  People sometimes inadvertently say things that come off as hurtful or insensitive to the bereaved. For example, a friend may say something like, "Be grateful for the time you had." If your loved one died somewhat young, this may bother you. You can try gently saying to your friend, "I really appreciate that you're trying to help, but my cousin died very young. Being reminded of the time I had, which wasn't very much, just makes me feel angry. Could you please not bring that up anymore?"  You can also let people know what is helpful. Most people genuinely want to help. Even if they're saying the wrong thing, it's because they care. Letting them know what does and does not help will allow them to better assist you. For example, you could say to that friend, "The next time you want to help, maybe just ask me how I'm feeling and let me express it without offering any advice. Sometimes, I just need to vent." Some people find support groups very helpful when dealing with a personal loss. Talking to others who've been through the same experiences can provide you with insight on how to cope. You can see if there are any support groups at hospitals or counseling centers in your area. If you can't find anything close by, consider an online support group. It's normal to feel sad after losing a loved one. However, sometimes grief can spiral into depression. You should seek psychological care if you experience any of the following:  Your emotions are so intense you are unable to cope with day-to-day life Your have difficulty sleeping Your personal relationships are suffering Your professional life is suffering You're having sexual problems or becoming accident-prone If you're experiencing symptoms of prolonged grief, make an appointment with a therapist. You can find a therapist by talking to your insurance provider or asking for a referral from your regular physician. If you're a student, you may be entitled to free counseling from your college or university.

Beat the cream cheese with the sugar for three minutes. Beat in the rest of the filling ingredients on low speed. Reduce the oven temperature and bake the cream cheese mixture. Cool the cheesecake and freeze it for three hours. Cut the cheesecake into 36 bites. Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave. Dip the cheesecake bites in the melted chocolate. Chill the chocolate covered cheesecake bites for at least one hour."
article: Turn the oven on to 350 °F (177 °C). Get out an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20-cm) baking dish and lay a sheet of foil in the bottom of it. Spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent the crust from sticking. Put 9 whole graham cracker sheets into a food processor. Pulse the crackers until they're crumbs. Put the crumbs into a bowl along with 8 tablespoons (113 g) of melted butter. Stir the crumbs with the butter until the mixture is a sandy texture. Scoop the graham cracker mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it evenly across the bottom of the pan. Put the pan in the preheated oven to bake for 10 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven. The graham cracker crust should become pale golden. Open two 8-ounce (225 g) packages of softened cream cheese. Put the cream cheese in a mixing bowl along with 1/2 cup (100 g) of granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture for three minutes. The cream cheese should become light and fluffy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Turn the electric mixer to low speed and beat in the remaining cheesecake filling ingredients. Beat the creamy mixture just until it's combined. You'll need to beat in:  1/4 cup (57 g) sour cream 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract 1 tablespoon (8 g) all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) fine sea salt Turn the oven down to 325 °F (163 °C). Transfer the cheesecake filling to the pan with the graham cracker crust. Spread the filling evenly and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes. The cheesecake should puff up and the center should jiggle only slightly. It will firm up a little as it cools. Set the baked cheesecake on a wire rack to cool completely. Once it's cool, place it in the freezer to harden. This should take at least three hours or up to overnight. Remove the pan of cheesecake from the freezer. Lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the foil. Set it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut the cheesecake into 36 evenly sized squares. If the cheesecake begins to soften, put it back in the freezer until it's hard enough to finish cutting. Chop 16 ounces (460 g) of semisweet chocolate into small pieces and put it into a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of coconut oil and place the bowl in the microwave. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate and continue microwaving it in 30 second increments until it's melted. It should take you a total of one to two minutes to melt the chocolate. Get out a baking sheet and lay a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat on it. Take a cheesecake bite and lower it into the bowl of melted chocolate. Use a fork to coat the entire bite with the chocolate and then lift it out of the chocolate. Set the bite on the prepared baking sheet and continue to dip the rest of the cheesecake bites. Place the sheet of cheesecake bites in the refrigerator so the chocolate can harden. This should take about one hour. You can serve the bites or keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

If you have healthy family relationships, nurture them. Emotional support is especially important when you're having family problems, and often, your other family members will understand what you're going through better than anyone else. Because of their inside perspective on your situation, your other family members may have good advice for how to handle your dysfunctional relatives. If you're used to putting other people's needs and feelings first, you might not be in the habit of practicing good self-care. Work on achieving a healthy balance between fulfilling your responsibilities and taking care of your own well-being.  Don't feel guilty about taking care of yourself. Remember that you're just as worthy of care as anyone else. Make your health a priority by getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising. Set aside some time every day or every week to do something you enjoy. Try appointing an accountability partner who can point out when you start putting other people's needs ahead of your own needs. Instead of suppressing your emotions, find healthy ways to acknowledge them and let them out. Try writing in a journal, venting to someone you trust, or going for a long walk.  Experiencing your emotions is the only way to work through them. It's common to feel angry after living through a dysfunctional family situation, particularly if your parents were the dysfunctional ones. Keep in mind that loneliness is a common emotion for people who are going through this process, even if you are spending time with supportive friends and family. It can be sad to lose someone who was a significant figure in your life. Just keep in mind that you will begin to feel better as you continue to heal. You can't choose your family, but you can decide which friends to surround yourself with. Work on developing the positive, mutually beneficial relationships in your life. Seek out the people who make you feel loved and who are there for you when you need them. Distancing yourself from dysfunctional family members can bring up emotions that are hard to deal with alone. If you're struggling to cope, make an appointment with a counselor or therapist. Support groups can also be helpful in dealing with feelings like guilt and anger.
