I lost my lovely mum last week. As I’ve no doubt you all know, the pain is indescribable and to be honest I feel like I’m being disrespectful in having to worry about practicalities.
I’ve previously had time off work due to ill health, and have taken this (last?) week off but have said I will be back in next week.
All I do is cry. Like, all the time, and the stupidest thing will set me off and I can barely parent or sleep or eat. I fucking hurt!
I feel like I need more time, but at the same time there is never going to be enough time, is there? Will it be better to be distracted, or to just be sad at home and attempt to sort things out?
Sorry, this is a very long-winded way of asking people’s experiences of when they returned to work and if they have any advice.
sorry it’s a bit ranty and jumbled x x

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. I still don’t really know what to do, but I think I may feel marginally less guilty about my decision.
I’m so sorry for all your losses, it’s all just bloody awful isn’t it x x x
