I posted recently about my mom been terminal.
She passed away yesterday and I don't know what I'm going to do. I've been on auto pilot during the day but didn't sleep last night and am feeling the same tonight. Every time I close my eyes I see her and I think what she must of been feeling, if we could of helped her and done things differently. There's so much to sort out I don't know where to start. I only get 3 days compassionate leave as well.
I am so sorry for your loss. It’s such a terrible time for you but I am sure you did everything you could to make your mums time the best it could possibly have been. When you close your eyes and see her I really believe she is till with you but without the pain. Go to see your doctor if need be and explain your situation he may be able to sign you off work with stress which is totally understandable. Sending you big virtual hug.
