Well it’s just over 3 months since I lost mam and went back to work on reduced hours on Monday. Monday and Tuesday went OK but today I just couldn’t hold it in and was in floods of tears at least 3 times. Staff were great but I’m worried about tomorrow now. Hopefully I’ll just be a blip. Anyone else had this experience?

I returned to work five weeks after the loss of my Mum. I didn’t really want to but felt I needed something to give structure to the days. Fortunately I work part-time and generally my demanding job has provided distraction from my grief. There were days when I felt completely overwhelmed I admit but I somehow managed to grit my teeth and get through. Colleagues were kind and supportive. All you can do is take each day as it comes. Best wishes xx
Thanks @Rosiepink
I think I’m coming down with a cold, maybe that had something to do with it. I did so well on Monday and Tuesday so I’m just going to do like you said, a day at a time.
I’m off for 2 weeks for Easter, not looking forward to that either, I can’t win
Thanks for the support and I hope you’re doing well
