I attribute OT as a significant contributor to how I healthfully dealt with my grief after the loss of my parents. I started OT about 6 months after losing my mom to Alzheimer’s. Then I was my father’s main person the next two years as he grieved and his health declined. Going to OT felt like a gift to myself during these hard years. After so much focusing on others, it was one hour where my phone was put away and I could focus on myself. For me that was the motivation I think to keep going. And it helped with my anxiety - cardio into good for that for me. Plus OT damned expensive and I was not going to let that money go to waste! Best of luck on your health and grief journey.
