After the death of a loved one, one can having a hard time focusing. I am looking for jobs again, and doing freelance work, but it is hard to focus. Have you been able to come back bereavement leave and work right away? Also with unemployment were you able to look for jobs instantly or did you need time?

I have had a better time today. I think it is because I have so many things to do, but have to wait on the roadblocks. Therefore I have glancing at jobs and doing freelance while I wait.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. When I was going through this, I took daily walks. It took a couple months to get back to my brain working at 85%. I experienced forgetting time (completely lost what month/year it was for a few seconds) for over 6 months but apparently this is normal. I am sure you will heal with time and it is absolutely normal to have a hard time for a long time. Do what you can and let yourself heal. Up the self care. Shorten the to do list to just priorities (as much as you can). You can and will work through this ❤️

Losing a loved one is devastating and people expecting you to go back to your normal duties immediately hits harder.

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs.

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
