TW Loss: focusing on return to work advice

Hi . We lost our young cousin in a sudden road accident. He was a pedestrian and was killed by a car. I’ve taken a couple of days off from work and am due to return tomorrow. I need to prepare some material for work tomorrow and try to focus but I just can’t. I feel sick. The thoughts of getting in the car and driving to work has me feeling so shaken. I keep thinking of what happened and crying again. Any tips for focusing on work again when a sudden tragedy like this occurs?

Gently, it doesn't seem you are ready to go back to work. I'm so sorry for your loss

I completely agree I think you need to get signed off and have a little more time off work whilst you start to deal with what has happened.
