We often ascribe a higher status to performers and athletes. We can see them as somehow impervious to grief, loss, and pain. We may recognize their physical pain and resilience to get back to where they were. However, with grief we are never the same after a loss, thus the concept of resilience and returning to “normal” falls to the side. Performers and athletes grieve the loss of a season or show ending along with that of the community which was established. They grieve physical injuries, retirements, not “making the cut” or expectations being unmet. Dr Tasha Trujillo is a performance and sports psychologist well versed in this topic. Her new book And She Was Never the Same Again is a multigenerational memoir which dives into many of these areas as well as other areas we may not think of loss arising.
