Returning to work after the loss of your child is one of the hardest transitions you’ll face as a grieving mom. If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a screen through tears or wondering how to get anything done while your heart is still breaking — this episode is for you. In today’s Ask Me Anything episode, I answer a heartfelt question from listener Karishma about how to stay focused at work when you’re still navigating the fog of grief and trying to support your family.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How to ease back into your job after child loss (without pretending you’re “okay”)
  • What helped me through those early days of brain fog and overwhelm
  • 7 simple strategies to help you focus — even when grief makes that feel impossible
  • What to say to your boss or coworkers (and how to set boundaries around your grief)
  • Why perfection is not the goal — and what to aim for instead
