Yet so many women beat themselves up because they "just can"t get it all done anymore" during these difficult seasons. The truth is, you"re not supposed to be getting it all done right now, and it"s time to completely rewrite the rules of how you manage your time during grief and major life changes. Society subtly tries to time-box our grief with limited bereavement policies and expectations to "bounce back" after a week or two.
