Firstly I would like to say that I am ever so sorry for your loss, I too went thru the exact same thing just a month ago (4am tomorrow morning!). My body actually rejected my baby, so I didnt need a D&C. It truly was a horrible thing, but yes we do somehow get over it bit by bit (this was my third m/c in a row!!). I still feel so strange that I am no longer pregnant, and often think that I am???? But just spend some time crying as it really helped me.
About telling your boss, I think I would tell him what is happening, could even be worth talking to him on the phone, especially as he thinks you're his star anyway. I told my boss exactly what was happening and she was ever so understanding and actually told me to take time off if I felt I needed it. She even gave me a cuddle and made me feel like someone actually cared that I had just lost my baby. I took a whole week off and then when I went back to work I felt a lot better.
Of course there is no way you will ever forget what happened and when you see a pregnant mother or a newborn, you remember that was you and once again the emotions all come back.......but, time does heal, slowly, very slowly, but eventually you will feel like you can go on again.
I will be thinking of you tomorrow morning and hoping that you feel a lot better once everything settles down.
My thoughts are with you,
Many hugs and please take things easy....:hugs:
