Burnout Recovery Day 2: What Are You Grieving?

A couple of days into burnout recovery, I've started noticing something I didn't expect. Beneath the exhaustion, frustration, and emotional burnout, there may be another experience many of us overlook: Grief. In Day 1, I reflected on stepping away from work and what it means to be signed off with burnout. In this Day 2 reflection, I'm exploring a different question: What am I grieving? This isn't advice from someone who's already recovered. I'm still in the middle of burnout recovery, sharing these reflections in real time as they unfold. If you're experiencing burnout symptoms, emotional exhaustion, chronic stress, or you're wondering how to recover from burnout, perhaps this question is worth considering too.
