After the twins died I gave myself a 6 month limit, I knew then in myself that if I didn't do something I would probably stay in the hole of grief/depression forever.. After 6 months I enrolled in a part time course which was only 3 days a week and coped with that quite well.. Everyone is different though, I don't feel I would have been ready before then, and also I didn't have to go back into an environment where I had been pregnant. I am also still non functional around the time of their birthday and anniversary.. I was still studying this year and only went to TAFE when I ABSOLUTELY had to (to hand in assessments) and I didn't go to my vocational placement or work at all..
