Why Can't I Make Simple Decisions After Loss?
Grief is part of your story. But not the whole story.
One of the most surprising effects of grief is how difficult everyday decisions become. You may struggle to read a book, choose what to buy at the grocery store, or make decisions that once felt effortless.
These aren't signs that something is wrong with you—they're signs that your grieving brain is working incredibly hard to adapt to a world that has changed.
In this clip from our Early Days and Months After Loss Masterclass, we explore why grief affects concentration and decision-making, and why giving yourself grace during this season is one of the most important things you can do.
