About

You are here because someone died and you are discovering that everyone expected the disruption to be temporary. It is not temporary, and pretending otherwise is tiring in a way that is difficult to explain to people who have not been through it. The loss of a loved one changes what your days are for, not merely how they feel. Meals, weekends, the shape of a Sunday, the person you would have called about a small piece of news: all of it has to be rebuilt from parts, and that is genuine work rather than something that happens to you passively while time passes. We do that work together and at a realistic speed. I worked in a completely different field before this and came to this later than most, which means I have a fairly clear memory of being on the other side of it. If you are tired of being told it gets easier, get in touch.
