It was my first day back at work today after losing Amf, my partner. The staff were amazing. I work in a nursing home, not as a carer, though i do have a lot of contact with residents. I found it difficult to pretend nothing was wrong and lacked the patience to deal with things today. I know it will get better, and overall the day wasnt too bad, but i wonder if im up to doing my job, when i dont even cate about myself at the minute.

The first few times back in work for me felt so strange, almost like the “real me” wasn’t there at all…I definitely needed my colleagues to support me back into my role and it takes time.I’ve been back in nearly three months now and it feels much better.
Be patient with yourself, you’re probably managing better than you imagine. Good luck
