Dear grief, (job loss)

Dear Grief,

The end of my job feels like a chapter closed on a book I thought would never end. The routine, the sense of purpose, and the identity I crafted through my work are now shadows of a past reality. I am struggling to find myself in the void where my job once was, questioning who I am without the roles and titles that defined me. The loss is not just of a paycheck but of the daily interactions and the sense of accomplishment that gave me a place in the world. Help me to rediscover my worth beyond my career, to find meaning in new paths and possibilities. Guide me through this transition with compassion and clarity.

With respect and yearning for renewal,
me
