Mum passed away in January and the brain fog and flashbacks are getting worse

I’ve posted on here before but my mum passed away in January after getting pneumonia which led to several other issues. The hospital are conducting a review on the care she received, so that’s hanging over me at the moment, I don’t know what I’ll do if they say that she would still be here if they done something different.

I’m on sertaline and on a waiting list for a mental health assessment, but any advice?

I went back into work after 6 weeks, but I’m struggling to concentrate on anything and have major brain fog, flashbacks, struggle to get out of bed and realistic dreams that she’s still here. I’m tempted to take more time off work but scared that I might lose my job if I do.

Take it one day at a time. Your health is important too. Is it worth maybe speaking with your boss to see if they can help in anyway

They’ve offered to cut my hours in half so I’m not doing as much but that would mean that I wouldn’t be able to afford my mortgage so I feel stuck
