All of us will deal with grief from someone we know dying. Grief is unavoidable in living. From 9/11 and other manners of violence, to the gradual health decline of old relatives, we will endour the loss of a loved one. Having some helpful ways to process can be beneficial in knowing we aren't alone and that our feelings are normal to experience.
A yoga practice might be more in the realm of gentle stretches or a restorative practice if you are exhausted, or if you are feeling angry and pent up might be a power flow to release your energy. Whichever is helpful for you, try to do some heart opening, body tapping to ground you, humming to calm your nervous system and find your voice, and forward fold of some sort to releive tension that typically builds in the low back and neck.
Mantras are a way of expressing a phrase over and over to help process and let go of our pain. With repetition we help our subconscious mind be at better peace. I hope this helps for you in some capacity during your time of grief.
