I got rejected by my dream company a few weeks ago. Seeing the rejection letter first thing that morning crushed me.
I was at a friend’s place that morning and I excused myself to go home in the afternoon. They understood that I needed time alone. While at home, I tried to not distract myself with any kind of work.
While surfing through YouTube, I stopped, switched off the TV and just stayed with myself for a few moments. Tears ensued. I started grieving the loss just like one would grieve any other.
10 minutes later, I felt much better. A day later, I didn’t think about it nearly as much.
Find out how you like to grieve and make yourself the space to do so. It helps immeasurably. Lightens the burden.
