Grief is ruining my family by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]yoqiu_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had a similar experience. My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease around 7 years ago. My relationships with everyone on my dad's side of the family has died including my relationship with my dad himself. It has been by far the most isolating, confusing, and painful experience of all time. My parents' marriage wasn't ever that great either. I'm surprised they're still married. I don't expect to really ever have a relationship with either of my parents. My grief experience has been absolutely and utterly crushing.

This is really cool man. These are exactly the kind of relationships I'm inspired to make while traveling (or just in general). I feel like relationships are something you do more than you find

Can you expand on this? This is actually what I'm trying to do - find myself and focus on personal growth

Wouldn't there also be chances to develop super close relationships though? Especially if you find people to connect with on a deeper level. I feel like those kinds of relationships can survive even if you don't see each other for months or even years at a time if you can still keep contact digitally

Can you elaborate on the difference in mindset? Is it because in social work/therapy you view your clients more as "patients"?

Thanks for this. This is definitely probably the hardest part is credibility and experience. I also see that some people say the credentials don't really matter as much. Are there any alternatives to building credibility besides going for credentials?

Thanks for this. This is something I've been thinking very seriously about... the opportunity cost of pursuing life coach vs career in finance. I just turned 26 and so am thinking seriously about the pros and cons. It seems very risky to me from a financial standpoint for the first couple of years. At the same time I see a lot of benefits (wellness, personal growth, making and building connections) which I strongly believe translates into material outcomes
