Grief is a sucky thing to go through. There is really no clear cut end. It changes us as people. I have a few friends recently that have had parents or grandparents pass away. It is devastating. Then life goes on for everyone else, but not you. You are stationary and go through the motions of life but don’t seem to move. Yuck!
Ethan is going through a bit of grieving. He is discovering how you have to juggle your time. He is learning the feeling of being exhausted after a shift. His anxiety has also ramped up. His brain went on overload yesterday afternoon and he was struggling a bit. He got through it though. It is a an adjustment process. He has trouble with worrying about time.
We have bred anxious kids. I remember when I first started working full time and I remember having a bit of a melt down that I would have to do this for 40 more years…if felt overwhelming. We get used to it over time but it is a big transition.
We will see how it plays out.
Hugs!
