Losing your job is never easy — especially when you’re living and working in a different country.

Moving to a new country is often romanticised — a fresh start, new adventures, discovering a different culture. But the reality is, for many of us, it also brings something far more difficult: loneliness.

There are seasons in life that feel heavy. Where the ground beneath you shifts, and nothing feels certain. Maybe it’s grief. Maybe it’s burnout. Maybe it’s the slow unraveling of something you once counted on.

Burnout doesn’t arrive with a warning.It builds slowly — in the background of your busy life — until one day, even the smallest task feels like too much.

We all carry quiet timelines in our minds.The age we thought we’d become a parent.The moment we’d feel settled in a career.The year things would finally slow down.
