How do you deal with loss?

For me, I tried to keep myself busy after losing my Grandfather. I was lucky enough, for lack of a better term, that it was during basketball season and I coach high school basketball, so after taking a few days to grieve, I was able to go back into teaching and coaching and keep my mind off of it. I think having a good support system is key for a lot of people. My friends, family, and the students and players I coached really helped me get through it.
