I like your take on this. As someone who invested every waking hour (and several sleeping hours) to being a caregiver for the last two years, only to lose my wife at age 49, detaching myself from that time and energy investment makes a lot of sense.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's important to honor the immense effort and love you invested as a caregiver, and allowing yourself to detach can be a vital part of the healing process. Taking steps to focus on your own self-care and grief work can help you find balance and begin to heal.
