Hi! I can’t even imagine what you must be going through and I’m sure it’s not easy. And it’s okay to let things out and speak what’s on your mind and address it.
Next Steps
One of the hardest challenges is adjusting to the new reality of living. Adjusting would require you to develop a new daily routine or even venting it out. As far as concentration on work is concerned - try giving yourself about 20mins to process everything everyday or even try meditating , divide your work into parts and start with one thing at a time, don’t over burden yourself, make sure you eat and sleep well, take breaks between work.
Health Tips
- It is okay to feel what you’re feeling. - Everyone takes their own time. - Express your feelings. - Talk to your family/friends or take professional help.

I understand your predicament and would like to make a few suggestions that might help you. I want you to know that with awareness of how the mind works and how thoughts are generated, you will get better at dealing with them. Today, the mind is fixated on somebody else. Tomorrow it could be obsessed about another person/event/topic. Understanding the nature of the mind and how thoughts are generated will help you deal with them. The nature of the Mind, which in simple terms we experience as thoughts, is such that, it will keep shifting its focus from one object/topic/event to another. Ii always needs something to hold on to. Another important characteristic of the Mind is this - You will either have thoughts about the past or the future. This will keep alternating. Try thinking about the present moment - you will see that the Mind and 'Now' can never coexist. The Mind has 3 states in general. Sometimes, you may find yourself having very positive, inspiring thoughts. During other times, you may find yourself very emotional, or all charged for action. Whereas during other times, you may feel very lethargic, dull or lazy. These states will keep alternating. Having understood the nature of the mind, the first step towards mental health is to become aware of your thoughts. Learning to be an observer of your thoughts, learning to observe them from a distance like clouds passing in the sky. The next step is knowing that you have the power to choose which thought you wish to focus on and act on and exercising that power. With practice, you will have better mastery over this process. Having thoughts about one being worthless and hopeless about life in general is also something that plagues everybody from time to time. Trust me, even if everything was perfect, you will still find some shortcomings somewhere and brood about it. Tension or anxiety is a physiological response which is again part of being human. It is normal to have such thoughts about any situation. As mentioned above, with practice, you will learn to focus and entertain only those thoughts are healthy enough to be acted upon. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, just bring your focus back to your breath and take a few relaxing breaths. You will automatically be able to focus on the task at hand and do what is required. Whatever you feed your mind through your sense organs will be replayed to you as thoughts. Be conscious of this. Take care of the content you feed your mind - the kind of books you read, the websites you visit, the kind of music you listen to, the kind of food you eat, the kind of company you keep ( "You are an average of five people you spend most of your time with" ) Ask yourself : Where would I like to see myself ten years from now? What should I do today to reach there ten years from now? What would I do if I knew I wouldn't fail? What would I do if I weren't afraid? No matter how impossible the answers might seem, I want you to know that you can and will make them possible. Take the first step. The rest will follow. A beautiful future awaits you. Take ownership of every time, take responsibility for it and confidently work towards your dreams and aspirations. One day you will thank these dark moments for being the fuel for your success. Exercise daily and make sure you eat healthy. Celebrate each and every moment and live it to the fullest. This is going to be your best homage for your mother. Whenever thoughts of sadness about her loss come to you, replace them with thoughts of gratitude for having been blessed with such a wonderful mother and do your best to be a source of help and support for those you care for. Have faith in yourself. You are capable of dealing with this. You are going to do just fine. Take care.

Hello Practo user, Grief is a natural response to loss. It is the emotional suffering you feel when someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of a loss is very overwhelming. You may face all kinds of unexpected and difficult emotions. It has almost been an year now and still these difficult emotions are hampering your daily life like concentrating on your work. You may consult a clinical Psychologist to help you cope with this grieving process and also understand you better. You may seek emotional support from your loved ones, acknowledge your pain, accept that grief can trigger many difficult emotions and lastly understand that your grieving process is unique to you.

Hi dear, I am sorry for the loss, I understand it is difficult situation to cope and deal with next steps of your life. Most of action you could be remembering her approach and reactions which could be making you emotional. It is quite common in every one, nobody can't replace mother's unconditional love, that's true, but there are other things that your mother wanted you to pursue.. what about it.. Don't you feel that is something you have think about, It takes quite sometime you to adjust with reality, but by having small goals and motivating your self in reaching it will gradually help you cope with the situation. However it might be difficult for you to focus because of traumatic loss/pain, try yourself for half an hour in morning and half an in evening.. your routine should be based on your priorities. You venting your emotions should be in the form of happiness that what you achieved , building your self positive is thinking that making your mother happy. Don't worry as it is a phase, the pain will reduce gradually... Focus on the activity that you like the most.. You can do breathing exercises and spend time with loved ones or people you feel comfortable.. If you like art try splash painting, reading comedy books..
Next Steps
In the meantime, try to connect with psychologist to help you cope with situation, see your self in positive 🙂.. take care..
