I am feeling so sad, it’s been nearly 3 months since my mom passed away unexpectedly. We found out 2 hours before she died that she had terminal cancer. I am still trying to process all of this. We are in the process of obtaining her medical records to try and get some answers.
I am struggling so much day to day. It’s hard at home, my daughter is struggling with her own mental health and grieving her nan. Work is really hard I have been telling them that I am struggling and not coping at work. They acknowledged this but are just piling on the work. I don’t want to be off work, but it is heading that way as they are just not listening. Why is it all so hard?
Just because I am at work does not mean I am ok. Far from it. I just want them to care, but they don’t. I was supposed to have a meeting with my line manager tomorrow to talk things through and work out some support. Instead he has turned it into a meeting about looking into the work I do within the school with a Governor quizzing me. I have such bad brain fog and not sleeping. I asked HR for a meeting before our half term break, she was too busy and it still hasn’t happened.
