Back to work :(

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Today is my first day back to work and I'm totally stressed out. Two of my co-workers knew (we went out to happy hour and I just gave myself up) and have both been really sweet this morning but I told them I didn't want to talk about it because it will make me upset. I feel like I'm on the verge of tears and my job is already pretty stressful so I'm nervous that something minor is going to happen and I'm going to burst into tears. What have you ladies done to manage going back to "normal" life?

As crappy as it was that this happened during the holidays, there's definitely some good in it. My H and I both had the week off so we didn't have to take any time off of work and we could just spend the week together.

    awwww Sorry you have to go back to work.  I guess just try to take things as slow as possible.  and i think it was a good idea to tell your co-workers that knew not to talk about it because you would prob have a break down.  I hope its not too tressful for you and that you get by without a breakdown.  But if it does happen try to excuse yourself to the bathroom if you can.  I dont know what kind of work you are in but maybe you could even go to your car for a few mins to just cry or scream if you need to.

    Rosemary... I don't know if you remember me but I also was on GP on the Nest. I am so sorry to see you here. :o( But you'll find this board to be very supportive.

    It gets easier with time but feel free to cry and vent, especially here. Some people just don't get it, including DHs but we do. As for getting back to normal, I was pretty open with my boss lady since I had to leave in the middle of work to urgent care and then ER and then took the next day off. She was understanding. I just kept myself busy and I think my boss just let me go on at my own pace. Hopefully the same will happen with you. You don't need to be treated like you're made out of glass but just need time and understanding in case you do need a moment alone to cry. 

    ((hugs))
