We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
First of all, take what time and mindspace you need, don't get pressured at this time into returning to work until you feel ready and more prepared, your mental well-being is more important (however, in some cases getting back into a gentle work routine or some sense of normality can also be helpful for people to process and distract themselves from the everything).
The above link also contains some useful blogs on how to cope with grief ( https://www.harvardbusiness.org/grief-and-resilience-support-amid-the-covid-19-resurgence/ ), also on how to return to work ( https://hbr.org/2017/04/returning-to-work-when-youre-grieving ).
But everyone deals with grief differently and a lot will depend on external circumstances (which are obviously not easy right now).
In your case, would you say that your firm being at all accommodating and understanding and is there someone in a position authority with whom you feel you can be somewhat open about how you're feeling?
Also, have you considered seeing a professional grief counsellor or a therapist? It might sometimes help to be able to talk about how you feel to anyone, especially someone who's not your immediate family or professional environment.
Lots of love from LI, hope you begin to look up and forward soon.
