Hun, taking time off work is a good idea I think. I took 6 weeks off work (I was lucky as I have plenty of long service leave) and it was the best thing I did. Mum was on my case after 3 weeks to go back to work as she thought I just sat there feeling sorry for myself, but i just couldn't cope with work, with anyone really. Then I started to feel a bit like my old self and I actually started to feel a little bit bored, and then I knew I was ready to face my work mates and my customers. I work in customer service, so I just coudn't imagine answering the phone calls all cheery and happy when I wasn't.
Hun, please don't feel horrible, be kind to yourself. You are still grieving and that will take some time. When people stop grieving too soon, or just don't grieve at all (they hide their feelings and are in denial) it's so much worse as the grief does catch up to them at some later stage. It could be a few months or even years later.
Hun, one day at a time, little steps, might be one step forward and two steps back for a while, but you will get there. And you'll find happiness again, and your heart will mend.
Take care lovely, you are a very strong person to survive what you did, and seek support from others which is so very important. If it wasn't for the beautiful girls here on BB who have supported me through my own loss, I don't think I would be where I am today.
