Returning to work after the passing of a loved one can be a daunting prospect. First of all, you're probably still working through your grief. Second, you have to deal with the inquiries and condolences of coworkers. While they may mean well, their good intentions can be hurtful. It's important to prioritize your own well-being and set clear boundaries during this time. Read on for some actionable tips and practical resources that can help you ease back into working life after a loss.
When you’re grieving, it can be easy to focus on the negatives, and you may feel like you have no control and no ability to change anything.
However, it’s important to remember that this is a normal part of the grieving process, and it will pass. But it’s also important to know how to turn that negative energy into something positive. Healthy goals can help you move forward in the healing process, and they can help you feel like you have control over your life again.
A 10 year lease was signed for a whole floor - over 4,000 square feet - at the Queen Anne Baptist Church. The organizations have been working hard to expand and this move is a result of their efforts. PMA looks forward to hosting their free workshops on-site and more frequently. The Co-op Funeral Home will be able to offer families several on-site options to host memorial and funeral services.
Anyone who experiences the unexpected death of a loved one, someone closely enough related that it becomes their responsibility to deal with the disposition of the body, payment of bills, and distribution of the estate, knows what a stressful and bewildering experience that can be. Sooner or later each of us, by our own departure, will create that sort of crisis in the lives of our family or friends. Similar challenges occur when a loved one is disabled, especially if the disability prevents them from providing guidance about their finances, the type of care they want, and their desires for the care or distribution of their property.
There is never an easy path forward following the loss of a loved one. Although some parts of grief are universal, much of the process is unique, and the path toward relief for one person may look entirely different than for another. One way to look toward the future after a death is to consider moving. Living spaces hold memories; for some people, this can be a comforting reminder of the person they’ve lost. For others, however, every corner or doorway can bring back a painful feeling of grief and sadness. In these situations, finding a new space and a fresh start can be the kindest thing to do for yourself.
