Thank you for the question.
In terms of impacts, I would say time moves differently when you're grieving, and no one really understands that. When you are that person going through the grief and trying to manage your friends', family's and others' feelings, it does something to you. It changes you, I would say.
Looking back at my experience of going back to work within the six months, I thought at that six-month point that I was good. A year later, I looked back at the other six months and thought, “Oh, I was not good.” A year later, I keep looking back. I'm still grieving at some points.
It's hard to put the impact into words, but it certainly changes a person, and it changed those around me who had to support me at that time.
