I share some of my favourite essential oils to open the heart. It gives a sense of inner peace and keeps the heart open even though the grief can be heavy at times.
Essential oils:
Rose- invites love and compassion
Bergamot- opens the heart
Neroli and lemon- both invite love in
Roman Chamomile- promotes peace, love and compassion

An easy way to use essential oils is by using an essential oil diffuser. You can choose one of the above essential oils or make a blend of your choice. It is important to get the balance right and not use too much. For example in a 100mls diffuser you would use 4 to 5 drops or 6 to 10 drops for 200mls and 9 to 12 drops for 300mls. It is always a good idea to start with less drops and add if necessary.
Enjoy 

May I be cleansed of all negative emotions
May my healing path be blessed with strength, courage, trust and love

I find affirmation helpful when I feel my grief is out of control and I need to feel more grounded. This is an affirmation I wrote many years ago and I hope you find it helpful too.

Silently repeat the following affirmation:

I am healing in my own time
I am at peace
I allow Love to enter my heart
I am whole
