happened for you? Have you lost your mind? In the widowed world, we often use the term widowed brain (though it occurs in many different losses)—it’s a great term for the cumulative cognitive effects of grief. If grief has recently erupted in your life—and by recently, I mean anything from yesterday to a few years ago—you will most likely find that your brain just does not work. You may have been brilliant and organized before this loss, able to multitask, remember, execute. But grief changes all of that.
