After I wrote this post, I got some much needed sleep.
Now that I have a clearer head, I think I have more of a plan. I’ll reach out to my my old therapist and at least try to schedule to a session or two. I’ll also schedule an appointment with my GC, and talk through some solutions.
Yes, the grief hit me hard, but I think it was more of a shock. In the next two or three days, I might not feel anywhere near what I felt over the past few days. Like I said, death is a part of life. It happens.
Once I get over this initial shock, I think things will (hopefully) start to shift upwards again. Thanks for the responses.
And yes, grade-wise, I’ll be relatively OK in the long run.
