I [33 M] lost my brother [32 M] 3 weeks ago. In early August, my niece passed. In March, my dad passed. My compounded grief is serious and my brother's passing has been particularly hard on me. We were supposed to grow old together and continue doing the bonding activities we've always done together.

I have a high visibility, high paying job [earn six figures]. I've been in this role for 16 months. My boss has been OK with me taking it easy for the past month but I am falling behind with deliverables. I am at the Director level and so I often need to meet with stakeholders and other staff [to give final says] to keep the work moving. But, I frankly just don't care. I'm barely preparing for meetings now; I'll literally throw slides together the morning of. I do the bare minimum now. Did I mention how little I care?

I really, really want to quit. Has anyone else here quit their job after significant family loss? I feel like I just need a break for like 3 months and I also kinda want a clean slate. I just want to start over.

Has anyone else felt this way and how did you ultimately handle the feelings?
