I am 47 and have be...I so totally understand this. I am 47 and have been widowed over two years, and I keep wondering if my brain will ever get back to the way it was before. On the housework side, I had to come up with all new routines too. I'm finally, in the last couple of months, pretty happy with the daily home routine. I'm still struggling with work though. All of the methods I used to use for keeping a calendar, keeping project notes, filing, making task lists, they don't work anymore. The part of my brain that handled that stuff got fried when my husband died. It's all gone and it never came back. What used to be effortless is now literally impossible. A career I used to enjoy is now frustrating beyond belief. I had no idea grief would be like this. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
