After a significant loss, the world can feel foreign and frustrating. Social expectations, work, and relationships all seem harder; leaving one feeling lost and unfairly burdened. However, recognizing that the world itself hasn’t changed, but rather WE have, can be a powerful turning point. We can’t go back to who we were before our loss, but we can live a new life, shedding societal pressures and old patterns of behavior, leading to a more authentic and fulfilling life.
