Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My body can’t do what it used to, so I keep grieving everything I can no longer go and accomplish
- Everyone keeps telling me to move on and get over the loss, but the grief is huge and it won’t go
- I’ve been keeping it together by staying busy and not letting myself fall apart, but the grief I keep shoving down isn’t shrinking
- I move and see and breathe without ever thinking about it, completely take my working body for granted
- I’ve gone numb to the good things right in front of me
