Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- It’s been long enough that I can quietly admit something in me has shifted since they died
- People keep telling me everything happens for a reason and that I’ll come out of this stronger, and underneath my grief it makes me feel like I’m failing at healing because I haven’t turned my pain into some neat lesson yet.
- I keep trying to "process" this alone and on some deadline I’ve set myself, and it just leaves me more overwhelmed
- The life I’d assumed I’d have is just gone, and as devastating as that is, I’m quietly starting to notice doors I never would have looked at before
- The second someone genuinely thanks me I rush to brush it off
