My Mum died 12 days ago. I cried my heart out on the day she died and also on the day of her funeral. But apart from that I've not cried or really processed it I don't think. There are tears at the back of my eyes (if you know what I mean) all the time but I am managing to hold them in. I don't like to appear vulnerable and I'm staying in my home town with my Dad and DS (school hols) until the weekend when I will return home (300 miles away). My DH expects me to be fine when I get home and work are expecting me back on Monday (I will have had 3 weeks signed off), but I feel when I get home I will finally be able to let go and grieve properly in my own surroundings .
I'm not sure really why I've posted to be honest. I just don't feel I've had enough time off from everything. Do you think the Doctor will sign me off longer or should I just get in with things. I'm also not sure how to explain to my DH how I feel.
