Your essay reads like a meditation on grief especially the anger and confusion of watching people going about their life untouched by something that’s ripped one’s soul apart. Such beautifully sad/sadly beautiful writing Darya. Thank you for sharing.

I've seen you mentioning burnout several times now, and I think you're right. It makes a lot of sense to me, from stuff you've said. 🫂

Yes, unfortunately, burnout became a constant companion in my life.

Being able to give it a name enables one to at least find tools to counterbalance it. But it isn't easy. I've had many long discussions with my eldest sister about burnout. 🫂
