Had series of losses in immediate family this year. Now daily work tasks can feel like mountains & I'm frustrated with myself. Do you have phrases you tell yourself to stay grounded & moving forward?

When anyone asks I just tell them I am great. Others will want to be around you. No one wants to hang out with a sad sack. Being with others will lift your mood

Lost my uncle, grandmother, aunt within 3 month timeframe 2 years ago. Obviously as a planner I was forced to put emotion aside and help with everything.

My quote: “I deserve all the success now because of all the hard work I have and will continue to put in."

Let your emotions out. Cry. Seek help and remember them fondly. Honor them with how you live.

No easy answers.... a friend of mine lost her mother, three brothers and a sister in one year... she is an amazing upbeat person... she sought counseling... she cherishes everyday with her husband and children, she organizes a ton of things for the nieces and nephews and two remaining siblings and VERY importantly is gentle with herself when her feelings overwhelm her.

I have a framed quote on my desk that says “attitude is everything”. Gets me through a lot of things both big and small.
