Hi all
My mum passed away last week with a very short space between diagnosis and her not being here. I have been off for three weeks, one of which was when she was bought home from hospital, then readmitted 2 days later.
We have been told today we cannot hold her funeral until the 8th April, which has made me feel so anxious because it's like the final thing, and I've been feeling very emotional about even thinking and organising it.
Given it's a month between, I am looking for some advice as to when to go back to work? Should it be before the funeral? Or after? At the moment I spend most of my days feeling utterly exhausted, and just staring at the wall which I know sounds strange but it's true! I feel like if I continue doing this for another month before we finally say goodbye, it may damage my mental health further. Has anyone else felt like this?
Any advice would be so appreciated. Thank you ️
