How does grief affect your ability to socialize? Join me, Melinda Rubinger, as I recount the raw and personal journey of losing my husband, Mike, and how it fundamentally reshaped my social energy. From navigating the overwhelming tasks of selling our car and house to moving in with family friends, I found myself relying heavily on compartmentalizing my emotions. While this helped me get through those initial weeks, it came at the cost of my social battery, shifting me from an extrovert to someone who finds solace in solitude. My cat Toby has been my unwavering companion through it all, a reminder that grief is messy and life isn't always polished.
In this episode, I reflect on the ongoing process of grief recovery and the importance of embracing new routines for comfort. Everyday activities, like watching "SVU," once shared with Mike, became difficult to engage with due to the memories they triggered. As I continue to heal, I've learned to honor the evolution of my social battery and comfort zones, allowing myself space to avoid these triggers and embrace what currently brings me peace. Join me as I navigate this challenging yet enlightening journey of self-discovery and healing, finding moments of unexpected solace and understanding along the way.
