So my Mum passed away at the age of 53 in January this year from a brain tumour she'd battled for 11 months. After the funeral at the very end of January, we had a few weeks of trying to get through the initial grief of it all and then covid-19 came about and I haven't seen my dad in such a long time. I'm really without him trying to start processing my mum's death. I've started a job (last week) and I'm really unsure whether to tell my new boss what has happened. I'm only 24 and have spent all of last year essentially being mum's carer with dad, watching her deteriorate and eventually pass away. The job is within child abuse too, so it's going to be very stressful and heavy. I just feel like it's something so huge going on in my life that I need to tell them but I feel like they won't care or will think I'm whinging or making excuses for myself. I'm really not sure what to do, it's just quite isolating at the moment feeling like nobody in this new environment knows what I'm battling xxx
