Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • They handled the money, or the cooking, or were just the person I leaned on
  • I keep my head down and stay busy so I never actually feel the loss, and now it ambushes me at random and won’t metabolize
  • There was no funeral, no service, nothing to mark it
  • The grief ambushes me at the worst times
  • My free time comes in scattered five-minute scraps between interruptions, and even though they probably add up I can never start anything real in them

Practices that may help

  1. Time Affluence Practices (Cassie Holmes)
    Cassie Holmes’s research on time and happiness identifies several evidence-backed habits that increase felt time abundance: protecting a moderate amount of discretionary time, spending time on activities that match your strengths, investing in experiences over things, and being present in time you already have. Effects are real but modest; the biggest single factor is how you allocate and attend to the time you have, not how much of it there is.
  2. Task 3: Adjust to a world without the person
    Actively develop new skills, roles, and identity elements to navigate the changed life.

  10. Time Smart: Buying Back Your Time Affluence
    Ashley Whillans’s research shows that "time affluence" — the subjective sense of having enough time — predicts well-being better than income beyond a moderate level, and that concrete practices like outsourcing disliked tasks and protecting time for meaningful activities measurably raise it. The core studies are correlational with some experimental support for specific interventions.
