:( Starting a new job on Monday, just cleared out my desk and I feel really quite sad.

I hope I've done the right thing. I had to bring home photos of Harvey and my stripey mug. The people in my present job have helped me through so much. They really supported me last year, through my two bereavements. I suppose it just felt safe. I sat through my pregnancy at that desk, and losing him and my Mum.

The new job will be much more challenging and I'll be moving from desk to desk. Can't take any personal stuff in. It's still in the same building but in a ver different department that is more high pressure.

I remember my counsellor saying that one of the last stages of bereavement is the testing of new behaviours. I suppose I'm just worrying that I'm jumping too high too soon.

Eugh> have been thouroughly overtaken by work. I've had no time e to concentrate on cultivating my relaionships with important people (real and otherwise) apart from work people. I am not sure about this whole process. Missing Mumsnet regularity. That makes me sound like an ad for Senokot!
