Your Identity is the the “structure” of the “inner” you. Simply put, it’s the facets of your life that define your roles, or describe what’s important to you. The way you think of yourself, how you define yourself, the story you tell about who you are, all of that comes together to create your identity. And yet you don’t always have a conscious awareness of your identity or even a loss of identity. It often exists in the background, like the soundtrack of a film. You aren’t consciously aware of it until something changes.
During these challenging days physical loss of identity is a situation we all face due to regulations. The loss of identity may follow all sorts of changes and you'll go out of those time and your identity will never be what it was before the loss. Like so many things in grief, trying to go back to how things were before just isn’t possible. Part of regaining a sense of self after the loss is accepting that identity is going to be different than it was before and it will constantly keep on changing. Take some time to reflect on your identity and get back to yourself. Reconnect with other people important to you, pick back up the things that spark you joy, set boundaries and pursue your dreams.
