Back to work after suicide (trigger)

[mimbulusmimbletonia]

Basically as the title says going back to work on Monday after a month off after my mum committed suicide. I had been worried about telling people about it but I received a card signed by colleagues yesterday so they must all know. This is a massive relief

I'm still really nervous as they don't know how she died, but also I've been out of work for a month and I feel like I've forgotten how to do my job.

Sorry to hear about your mum. Hopefully it will be like riding a bike...but if not, most employers will understand. Up to you if you want to share more with your colleagues..or just say thanks and change the subject. If your manager/HR can be trusted to keep quiet, you could share the circumstances as it may affect you for months to come. Do they have an Employee Assistance Programme?
