Back to work...

Survived my first day back at work. I cried a bunch of times, most of which were when people came in and cried with me. Some other people seemed to avoid me/didn't know what to say and that's completely OK. It felt good to be doing something, but I'm exhausted. I guess it's a small step but am proud I got through it.

That first day back is hard but the good news is that the first day is DONE! Some people will ignore this event.... Like you said, people just don't know how to deal with it. Congrats for completing your first day

I think it's a very big step!  Some people will ignore your loss, and won't know what to say or how to act around you.  Others - often who you least expect - will be a great support to you.  I wish you well.

(((HUGS))) I'm glad you survived.  I'm sure it wasn't easy.  Going back to work is definitely not a small step - you should be proud of yourself.  I hope it goes ok tomorrow too.

*hugs*  It gets easier every day you go back.  You'll find a new normal there too.  I'm glad you're first day back went ok.  And remember to still be gentle with yourself.  It's ok to cry.  I spent nearly every day for 2 weeks running to the bathroom to shed some tears.

I'm glad you survived your first day back!  I was also a bit nervous to go back, but I found that getting out of the house was best for me.  There are times when I tear up, but I am lucky to have an office with a door and will close it and hide out when need be!

((Hugs to you))

Glad you survived! Going back to work sucks. Hopefully it keeps getting easier for you. I only had one day where I had to hide in the bathroom bawling. For months though I would just sob on the way home, it was like I had kept it together all day long and had to let it out. Big hugs!

I think that is such a huge step.  I'm sure everyday will get easier.  I still have decided what I'm going to do now.
