Life goes on I guess (getting back to normal)

[EmiJomobean]

So today I return to work after 3 weeks off. MC at 6 - 7 weeks, and can’t lie, I have woken up feeling sick with anxiety. Burst into tears as soon as I opened my eyes.

It’s the going back as if nothing has happened that gets me. And to the questions ‘where have you been not seen you in a while’ to simply have to answer oh just been unwell. While actually my whole world has been ripped apart.

I know I have to go back eventually, and I’d probably feel the same whenever I went back. It all just feels so wrong and hopeless right now. Just feel broken. Like I can physically feel a space where it is missing 💔

I hope you get on ok today. Can you maybe ask your supervisor to tell your colleagues so that they don't mention it to you? I feel exactly the same though, I have another week off to process but I'll have had just over two weeks when I go back since I found out the heartbreaking news at my scan. Good luck today x

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I dreaded the return to work too, but didn’t find it anywhere near as hard as I had feared. Like the PP suggests, can you tell anyone there to help smooth this over for you? Although I understand that’s not always straightforward and with my losses I chose not to share with anyone at work.

Wishing you all the best today 💐

@ReetPetity thank for your reply. I am getting through okay! Somehow!!

@jellyfish2 just wanted to share that whilst everything I wrote this morning is still true, I’ve been okay at work. Hope you will too. For me going back now felt like the next step. But don’t go back until ready!

We don’t know how strong we are until we are faced with something. We will be okay! ❤️

I went back today after 3 weeks off due to a miscarriage as well. Feels so strange that everyones lives have carried on while mine has imploded. I know things will get better so trying to keep positive. We've got this x
