Hi there
Lost my dad last year very suddenly to cancer and tbh it’s hit me worse now 17 months later I don’t like to think I’m struggling but it’s making me feel less energetic as time goes by.
I work with children and tbh ever since my dad died my passion has gone for childcare, I feel like taking some more time off but I have bills to pay so can’t really afford to. My work has always said that my health comes first which it does but I’m wondering about going back to my gp again and getting on the sick leave.
I feel fine just emotionally it’s draining not having my father in my life. Even getting upset writing this. I don’t know what to do if I should take more time off work?
I was really close to my dad, my whole family was and the fact that it was so sudden we didn’t even know he had cancer until it was too late and only was in hospital 2 weeks.
Does anyone else feel alone even though I still have my mum and brother. My mum now lives on her own which is hard to watch. It doesn’t get easier despite what the saying says, if anything I feel personally it gets more difficult and this is only the 1st year.
Should I take more time off work and will they be okay with that?
