Keeping up motivation after parent dies
Post Body

Hi. My Dad died about 3 months ago due to brain cancer, and for whatever reason, I didn't really feel any sadness or grief back then. Didn't cry at his funeral. I stayed as energetic as usual (I'm a very hype person). And I love him a lot, and it's not like we're estranged or anything, I just wasn't emotional. People asked me how I was doing and I said I was doing tremendously. So no one's really worried about my mental state.

But for whatever reason I'm starting to lose energy and drive. I'm in college right now, focused on doing my best possible work, but as the quarter winds down I'm falling off a bit. I keep getting flashbacks to my Dad's death (I was next to him at home, waiting for him to die; I even went out and got an oxygen tank to make him more comfortable). Classes are still fun, but it seems I'm not as motivated to work as before.

Has anyone else gone through this loss of motivation, and know how to get back on track with work and their duties? Thanks.
