You open the banking app and do the math you've been avoiding. Rent, insurance, groceries — the savings give you maybe three months. The bills don't care that you're grieving.
What started with the financial reckoning just got more complicated. Now you need to navigate social situations when your career status has changed — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Separating your self-worth from your job title and company badge — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
