Grief does what to my brain?

Written By Debi Jenkins Frankle
 

Grief can be all-consuming. It’s no wonder that grievers frequently feel overwhelmed, unable to find the right words, have difficulty making decisions, and often the simplest of tasks that would usually take a couple of minutes to complete, can take significantly longer.

  • Shock

  • Numbness

  • Confusion

  • Dazed

  • Short Attention Span

  • Easily Distracted

  • Memory Loss

  • Diminished Ability to Retain Information

  • Poor Concentration

  • Easily Overwhelmed

  • Your brain is foggy and slowly adjusting to being on The Planet Grief.

  • Have more patience with yourself.

  • Give yourself at least twice the amount of time to do tasks than before your loss.

  • The world often feels completely different and yet it seems to be the same for everyone else which is very SURREAL.
