Student: My uncle passed away last week and it’s been difficult for me to process it all. I was hoping you had some advice that could help me cope with this loss.
Doctor: My condolences, I will help you the best I can.
Student: I’m just so angry with it. I think I’m pushing all my friends away and I don’t know what to do.
Doctor: I would recommend trying to relieve some of that anger through sports. Maybe you should try boxing or running? These are healthy ways for you to destress without harming your relationships.
Student: That’s good, I’ll try that.
Doctor: But there are some things you shouldn’t do, like relying on alcohol, drugs, or overeating to cope with your loss. They all have serious consequences for you in the future.
Student: Ok, I understand, thank you for the advice.
