It may sound hokey (I thought so before I tried it), but it really helped me and the best part is that it's free.

Not hokey. Differing situation, but I my best man passed away at a young age few years ago.
In the days leading up the funeral, my grief manifested as stress. Stress about wanting the funeral to go right, my eulogy, stress about how my other friends are holding up, how his family will handle it the day of, etc. I literally felt like the walls were closing in. Of course, it wasn't rational for me to take on all those extra worries, but grief can mess with you.
Walks were the only thing that helped bring the stress down to a manageable level.
