I’m feeling the worst emotional whiplash over losing my dad. I’m 27 and lost him on the 15th of December. I’ve gone back to work and regret it, I feel it was too soon x

I lost my lovely dad on the 12th December. I understand completely how you feel. I went back to work but then had to have some time off as it was too soon. My dr gave me a medical note. Maybe a trip to the dr is what you need. A bit of time off to grieve and rest, as I’m sure you are exhausted. You are not alone with your feelings. It’s so important that we do what we need in order to be healthy and start to process what has happened. You are not alone. I have been listening to a podcast called the grief coach which has helped at times x

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad last July and returned to work after a week. I had a breakdown over Christmas and have been on sick leave since. My counsellor thinks I returned to work too quickly after losing Dad and didn’t take the time to grieve and Christmas was the trigger for my grief to come out. She is appalled that companies offer the bare minimum in bereavement leave. Take the time to grieve and look after yourself xx
Hello Abbie, if your GP is anything like the ones in my area then you don’t need to physically see your GP to get a sick note for grief. I rang up for my first one, and I requested subsequent ones on the PATCHS messaging system.
