Grief Fatigue, Burnout, and Sleep

Who isn't grieving right now? One of the biggest challenges in the grieving process is lying awake in the middle of the night unable to get back to sleep. Rather than watching another rerun, why not try something more effective so you can confront your life and loss with more reserves.

Oceana and George will present information grief and burnout as well as some useful tips for getting the kind of rest required to build resilience in order to really work with your grief and avoid becoming overwhelmed and burned out in these transitional times.

George Sawyer is a Burnout Survivor. After spending three decades in executive sales in the high-tech industry, he became incapacitated in ways he never imagined.

"The people I work with are tired, and can’t seem to get rested, their minds aren’t as sharp as they know they should be, and they can’t work as effectively as they want. They headed towards burnout, or they are burned out.

In recovering from burnout, he's worked out a simple lifestyle framework that allows the brain and body to recover, using breathwork and qigong.
