Grief on the brain
8/13/20241 min read
Grief is a highly individual and complex process, and it can affect people in various ways. It's entirely normal to experience cognitive and emotional challenges during this time. Spelling mistakes and difficulty concentrating are common manifestations of grief. Grief can make it challenging to focus on daily tasks and can affect your memory and cognitive functioning.
It's essential to be patient with yourself and allow yourself the time and space you need to heal. Grieving is not a linear process, and there is no set timeline for when you should feel a certain way or be back to your "normal" self. Healing from the loss of a loved one, especially a child, can be a lifelong journey.
Many people find it helpful to seek support from friends, family, or support groups during this time. Additionally, talking to a therapist or counsellor can be beneficial in processing your grief and developing coping strategies.
Remember that it's okay to not be as "on the ball" as you were before your loss. Grief is a natural response to a profound loss, and it's a process that varies from person to person. Your healing journey is unique, and it's important to give yourself the grace and understanding you deserve as you navigate through it.
