My mum passed away suddenly 5 weeks ago and yesterday we picked up her ashes. I thought I was ready to go back to work but now I’m realising that I haven’t dealt with things as well as I’ve thought. Because I struggle with mental health I’m now worrying about being off work too long. I was close with my mum and I think taking a few more weeks would be good for me. I just needed to vent this out.
