The discomfort you are feeling is grief...
The Harvard Business Review wrote an article discussing the work of David Kessler, who co-wrote with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Finding Meaning of Grief through the Five Stages of Loss. With screen time going prime time in our lives, the uncertainty of when we can pick up where we left off in our relationships and normal routines create a variety of emotions. Our world has changed and although we know it’s temporary, it doesn’t feel that way with the loss of normalcy, economic fears, and disconnection. We are not used to feeling this large cloud of grief at one time. The 5 stages, more like fragmented waves, can be felt as shock, denial, anger, frustration, bargaining, depression, experimental, and integration. Check out this article that shares ways to manage each stage of grief as it relates to you and your family members as each one of you may move back and forth with these feelings.
