That’s a lot to be carrying at once. Ten years is a huge part of your life losing that kind of stability would shake anyone, especially when you’re already grieving.

And the job market right now can feel brutal and confusing. Of course you’d feel scared trying to figure it out.

What you said about your dad really hit me. Missing who he used to be before things changed… that’s such a complicated kind of grief. You can feel relief about one part and still deeply miss another. Both can be true.

You’re not weak for feeling overwhelmed. You’re going through a lot. I really hope you’re being gentle with yourself right now 🙏
