When H goes back to work

angelsnight · April 2013

For those of you that had time off after your loss and your S/O went back to work before you, how did you deal?

I am lucky that I am getting six weeks off, so at the end of this week I still have four left. MH is likely going back to work on Monday, and I am really nervous about being home alone. We've tried to do something small each day to get out of the house, and we've been together almost every minute since the night I went into labor.

He went out with some friends last night so a little bit and right now he is at the shooting range with his dad....I had a bit of a breakdown last night, and right now I can feel myself feeling sadder since he left.

I know after a few days of him being back to work I will get used to him being gone, but how did you keep yourself occupied? I've never had this much time off work and I am afraid I'll slump into just laying around all day and being sad.

When my DH went back to work I tried to get myself back into a routine at home. He had been doing all of the house work and a lot of the things I normally did got overlooked. So, I had a lot cleaning to catch up on. Other than that, I

I know how hard and scary having your husband go back to work is - I was dreading it because we too had been together every second of every day since I was admitted to the hospital before we lost our son.

I basically made a plan for each week for

Is there anything you've anted to do or try? My Grammy brought me a Calligraphy set and thought it might be fun to learn something new. I tried to stay busy but I would get so tired. I never let myself just sit and think. That's when I w
