🌀 Confused
Why it happens
Grief genuinely impairs concentration, memory, and decision-making. You're not imagining the fog.
What it might mean
Your brain is prioritising survival over admin. It comes back, slowly.
Healthy ways to respond
- Write everything down. Don't trust your memory for a while.
- Postpone big decisions where you can — house, job, giving things away.
- One task at a time, finished, then the next.
Grounding
Clear one surface — a table, a sink. Just that one.
Journal prompt
What's the single next thing? Not the plan — the next thing.
