This is not talked about enough. I lost my son while he was still an infant in June and every single day is a battle.
Grief counselor has been key!! We still meet with her periodically.
Thank you for creating this. I lost my dad this year and I miss him everyday (sometimes at very inconvenient moments), but I feel like no one understands you’re down and can’t be yourself for a while - it’s just rough.

No problem. Thank you for sharing. Yes that is so normal. When my dad passed, for the first almost two years I completely dissociated. When I was at events, it was like my mind was there but my body was elsewhere. I never stayed out too long. I preferred staying home so I didn’t have to pretend I was okay when I wasn’t. It’s tough because when people don’t sustain a loss like that, they don’t understand how to support you. Think of your friends who lost loved ones before you had this loss. I know I sure didn’t know what to say or do for them. You’re not alone!
I love this support. 3 years ago I lost my brother and 2 years ago my sister. Both times I didn’t give a shit about work. It shifted my whole perspective on life (not in a bad way). But grief changes you and brings you closer to certain people who get it. But further from many others. I just don’t have the space to tolerate anything I don’t care about anymore lol. But I also think I’m such a better person. So I’d say some of my career ambition dwindled. Knowing what’s important in life and how I want to spend my time.

Agreed. It has completely changed me too. The way I function and view relationships. And yes I view my career differently too. One day we will all have to meet our maker. These businesses will
Move on. But our loved ones will be hurt. So we must cherish them while we can. So sorry for your losses
I love this. Thank you! I lost my dad after caring for him on hospice a few months ago and have been really struggling getting back to equilibrium with work. I needed this!

Give yourself some grace… it’s been four years for me and I’m finally beginning to feel somewhat “normal” again. Happy holidays. I know this time can be especially rough. Hoping you’re ok!
Lost my father in law this year and the battle leading up to his passing was the most difficult part. So many times we thought it was the end, it was an emotional roller coaster. I’ve also been deeply troubled by the tragic suicide of the famous dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss this week and couldn’t focus on work.
I am not usually effected by the deaths of celebrities either but just the fact that he seemed so happy and loved by his wife, children, and friends was completely jarring to me.
Thank you for starting this.
