Thank you Anne today was a little better, not so many tears.
A friend of the family made me a bear out of one of my mums blouses, to treasure, bonus I got a left-leaning baby one too, mum and me!!
Spent a little time with dad, he’s tearful too.

For those of you with a bereaved parent have you mentioned this site to them? It may be useful for them to join. As you know sometimes people just desperately need someone going through a similar experience that they can relate to. Not telling anyone what to do, it is just a suggestion. This site has helped me so much since my partner died, and it is obviously giving you, that have lost a parent, support. You could tell them to keep off any threads relating to parents, and you could keep off any relating to partners, so neither of you feel that your posts are being looked at.

Are you going to do a phased return. I’m doing that now and it really is helping me to settle back in.

Hi karen, yes, phased return. Very nervous about it. I know somebody will ask where ive been, customer or staff. As ive been at sainsburys for 23 years, i have my own customers. Once i have got over that hurdle i hope i will feel better going to work, meeting people again and having something to focus on . Big hugs fay zx

Well done I’m sure once you take the plunge you’ll be surprised how many people have missed you and the comfort they offer you. Take one day at a time and slowly be kind to yourself Perth xx

Hi…my colleagues, and students, are being lovely even the dreaded 10b! Lol. I am only doing mornings until after half term, and I am still exhausted. I am back full time after half term. I feel better for having some stucture back in my life, as exhausting as it is, and a good distraction. I have a little cry when I get home, and find myself talking to Mum about my day. She used to love hearing my little stories about school and what the students got up to. I guess this is all part of the grief process.
You take care, and stay in touch. Love Karen xxx
Well done Karen.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, I’m glad things are improving slightly for you. I too think and talk to my mum about my trips to assessments. Xx
