Navigating Grief and Work as a Professional in Florida
In a perfect world, you would be allowed to take paid time off from work whenever necessary. Especially after you experience some form of loss. Not only should you be allowed to, but your job should also encourage and support you in doing such a thing. Whether your grief and loss be due to…
the death of a family member, friend, romantic partner, child, or pet
being diagnosed with a serious medical/mental health diagnoses
a breakup, divorce, or separation
losing your home or living arrangement
losing your job
losing yourself in a new role you’ve had to take on
whether that becoming a …
new parent
caretaker to your elderly parents
professional who feels consumed by their work
an adult who feels overwhelmed by grown-up responsibilities
You Deserve Time to…
Heal, Rest, & Grieve
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world and most people have to keep working despite experiencing some form of loss. Even if you were to take some time off to grieve, that doesn’t mean your feelings just simply go away. Feelings such as…
Sorrow
Anger
Regret
Guilt
Pain
Loneliness
Eventually, you find yourself back at work, still experiencing grief. At first, you find yourself smiling, laughing, and pretending to be okay. But you don’t feel okay. Deep down, you’re experiencing an intense amount of emotional pain. And putting on a happy face around others at work, as if everything was okay, gets exhausting after a while. Especially while you’re still grieving.
Grief Symptoms You May Be Experiencing
You use to be able to bottle up all of your feelings while at work and save the tears for when you got home. But now you find yourself not being able to hold it in any longer. You find yourself…
crying uncontrollably at work
getting irritated by every little thing about your coworkers, your boss, and the job itself
getting easily distracted
having a hard time focusing or paying attention to the tasks given to you
feeling overwhelmed by all of your work responsibilities
which makes you start to feel burned out and anxious on top of already dealing with grief
noticing your work performance beginning to suffer
which is a reflection of just how much emotional distress you’re under due to your grief
feeling like you simply don’t have the energy to do your work anymore
wanting to isolate yourself from others
not wanting to show up to work at all
at least not in person
If you can relate to any of this, then it may be beneficial to receive some support from an online grief therapist in Florida. Along with receiving online grief counseling, I highly encourage you look into:
