Hello @soysofia

My heart went out to you reading your post. I'm so sorry that you had to deal with your mom's cancer while also trying to juggle your professional life and hold your emotions in check. To be honest in my opinion your company should have perhaps been a bit more understanding of the situation - when our parents die, things tend to go a bit wonky because we are all emotional beings - it is totally understandable.

It does sound like you were very hard on yourself and at that age, I was similar so I can understand it, but it's nice to read that you now have more empathy and compassion for yourself. I think that with age comes wisdom in that regard and hopefully in the future you will be a little bit more loving and gentle with yourself.

Have a good Sunday.
