BeiBei, can you get your DH to do the telling? Even if he writes the email for you and sends it. If they all knew, it's best that they know about the loss before you go back to avoid as many insensitive comments as possible.

I don't think there's any easy way to get through this at all. You are going to need time off work. Physically, the recovery is swift, but you'll need time for your heart to mend a little before you can go back to normal life.
