I obviously am deeply familiar with this and I felt every word in my bones! My take is that professional grief hits harder when you live with a health condition, because it’s such a win to be able to work and have a job you feel good in. And, let’s face it, work gives us an excellent distraction from symptoms. We live in a constant state of loss — of friendships, of milestones, of experiences… so the blow of a job you loved hits extra hard I think. 💕💕💕
Oh absolutely. I think, I've always wanted to prove that I could realize the potential I thought I had when I was 5 :) And ignoring the challenges my health brought didn't help. And now, at a place where I want to do it anyway but also be kind to my body and not burn out again, and get terribly heartbroken when things don't go according to plan.
