Hey everyone! 🖤 Would love some practical advice: my household is in mourning for my partner's mother right now. I'm needed in more ways than ever right now - and that means freelancing and hunting for a full-time job need to be budgeted in.
How have all of you stayed effective during demanding times like this? Or should I just give up on the idea entirely? 😅
very sorry for your loss
first, I am very sorry to hear it and send love ❤️ second, to get practical, this is the time to ask for help! lean on your support network of friends, family and neighbors and do not be shy. if someone asks how they can help, tell them. also outsource whatever you can afford to outsource, from ordering in to having someone come clean. give yourself a lot of grace. this will be an awful, difficult time but you do not have to do it alone.
So sorry for your loss.
Hi Brit, so sorry for your loss. I went through a very tough time a couple of months ago and I just had to make space for myself and what I was going through above work. My work schedule was super scrappy, I fit in work where it worked for me (and sometimes it was a great distraction) and cut back on my schedule. I think the most important thing is to just give yourself space and time to feel and heal. Work and market yourself when it most works for you in the day, based on what you're feeling and going through in the moment. Give yourself compassion for having less capacity for work.
