Earlier this year I lost my grandmother quite suddenly and now my grandmother on the other side of my family is very unwell . I come from a very close family and my grandmothers have been a huge part of my life . My issue is with work . I didn't get any bereavement leave other than four hours to attend my grandmothers funeral and I honestly feel if/when my other grandmother passes away I'm going to be floored . A number of other bad things have happened in my life generally this year and I work in an extremely stressful rather depressing environment which is not conducive to helping anyone who is going through a bad time . Could I go to the GP and explain what has happened if the worst happens to my other grandmother and ask for a fit note ? My parents are separated and no contact with one another so I feel in some ways I'm playing the sort of partner role for them during these times .
