Grief can manifest itself through emotional, cognitive, physical, and behavioral reactions.
It is common that we have difficulty concentrating and remembering things. We can forget what we were supposed to get in the kitchen or what we would say or do.
It can also be difficult to make decisions and you feel confused. Sometimes we deny and find it difficult to accept what has happened. It does not feel real.
We can get caught up in dwelling, analyzing and constantly thinking about what has happened. Being busy dealing with all the things that grief awakens in us can make it difficult to focus on other things. After my mother's death, it felt like cotton in my head and I had to make a lot of effort to remember things and be able to function. Everyday life worked, but it came at a high cost of enormous fatigue both emotionally and physically.
Today´s episode is about the variety of reactions one can feel after a painful life change.
