I'm 31 weeks pregnant and my dad died suddenly last Thursday. Went back to work yesterday because I felt pressured into it by the school I work at. I'm a teacher. But I've not slept for the last 4 nights because, coupled with the usual pregnancy sleep issues, loosing my dad has just knocked me for six. Ended up calling in sick again today. I seem to do nothing but cry constantly and feel completely lost and helpless. It sounds selfish but all I keep thinking of is the fact that he's never going to see his grandchild or that this baby will never know how amazing my dad was. I'm trying to be strong for my mum's sake but I'm really struggling. Just don't know what to do.
