Riassunto

You didn't just lose a job.

When a career ends involuntarily, you lose five things at once: your professional identity, your daily community, your structure, your sense of purpose, and your status. Each is a distinct loss. Each requires its own processing. Career grief is clinically real yet almost nothing has been written for it. The general grief guides were written for bereavement. The career books skip past the emotional reality to the strategy.Still Here fills the space between them. Drawing on contemporary grief theory and the Five-Loss Framework, this book gives you:

• The clinical evidence that names what you are experiencing as genuine grief
• The Five-Loss Framework: a model that identifies the five distinct losses inside a career ending so you can process each one specifically
• Tools for the body symptoms, the comparison wound of LinkedIn, the relationships putting pressure on you, the community you didn't know you'd lost
• Mourning rituals adapted for a loss that has no funeral
• The Readiness Assessment: a structured framework for knowing when you are genuinely ready to return and what the difference is between that and performing readiness because other people are anxious
• The Identity-First Return: a job search approach that begins with who you are, not what the market has available

This is not a career strategy guide. There is no CV advice, no pivot culture, no instruction to look on the bright side. What it provides is a clinically grounded framework for understanding what happened, specific tools for each dimension of the loss, and an honest account of what rebuilding actually requires.

The grief you are carrying has a structure. This book maps it.

Perfect for professionals aged 30 to 60 who have experienced redundancy, layoff, forced early retirement, or career collapse and for HR teams, EAP counsellors, and outplacement professionals seeking a resource for affected employees.
