forshelby, I'm very sorry for your loss. You have every right to be angry and I am disgusted at what you were put through.Years ago, a lovely woman I worked with told me she had her miscarriage at home and I was horrified - I'd always assumed it happened in hospital. Sadly, I know differently now. But to have to go through that at work, and answer phones, and deal with workmates, is terribly upsetting. I'm so sorry you had to go through this and glad you have a new manager who is understanding but it must be terribly difficult to see that person every day.

I had a different grief experience, but a similar response from workmates and a boss, that was very upsetting when I was the same age as you. Eventually I talked to my GP about it and had some counseling and it helped me to deal with it. There are some ignorant uncaring people in the world and there's nothing we can do about it but be loving and caring and completely not like them in our lives and in the way we treat others. Sadly, sometimes there is no other recourse and you just have to let it go in order to move forward yourself, as unfair as that feels. Your grief is more important than her lack of compassion. I hope you can find some peace with this.
