My job very kindly gave me 3 weeks paid leave.
I am very grateful for that.
I am back at work now but I am not ready!
Mum died very unexpectedly and I'm still in some very dark places with grief, but it comes on so unexpectedly that I can't plan for it, and I'm finding it really hard to balance work and kids alongside it.
How long did you take off before going back to work after your mum died?
Am I being irrational and needy to feel like I need more time?

I took one day off, that’s all I was allowed as I worked in the NHS. We only got three days if you were next of kin and arranging the funeral ( and that was my sibling ).
I’m a single parent and I couldn’t afford to get signed off and risk losing my job.
