I was doing my daily scroll through the news the other day, as many of you are accustomed to doing as well, and there was an article that caught my attention, because of the word 'grief'. It spoke to me.
The word 'grief', I learned in the article, likely caused me to pause because it put a name to the myriad of feelings I have been feeling lately. Maybe you've been feeling this way too. Grief around the lack of normalcy in the world today. Anxiety around the economy. Fear around the virus itself and getting sick. I was reassured to know that the feelings were normal, and almost relieved to be able to put a name to it.
In talking with Trent Tangen, HealthCheck360's Population Health Management leader and my coach on all things health and well-being, about the article, I was reminded about the things that HealthCheck360 already has in place to help support me and our participants who are feeling the same way. I've summarized them for us all here.
These are crazy times for all of us, but I take a bit of comfort in knowing that we can support each other through this, and even though it might not feel like it now, this will pass. If you're interested in reading the article that inspired this post, check it out on HBR.org here.
If there is anything that you've been doing or trying that has helped you through the emotions you've been feeling, share them in the comments below. Otherwise, we'll see you on Wednesday's webinar.
