Since losing my mom in May I’ve felt so many physical effects. Dizziness, apathy, fatigue, etc. A day of training is exhausting and my ability to perform at the same level I did before is worse. How do you advocate for yourself at work because your performance is not the same, but for a reason that is out of your control? #traumatic grief #griefbrain #ComplicatedGrief

Grieving Brain
Those who have not lost a child told me work is a good distraction. Those who have lost a child told me the same. It is almost a year since my son died, and six months since I went back to work at the job I had before. Working will not be the solution to see me through this. It is more challenging than before he died. I appreciate I can work from home so that between stressful meetings I have the privacy to droop my head and cry, "How am I going to get through this?" I have comfort in knowing I am not crazy. Grief brain is real. I am giving myself some leeway not to expect my performance to be at the same level it was before; achieving an average performance rating is my new “exceeds expectation.” lifewithoutmychild.com/work-will-not-see-me-through-this
