first day back at work

[dyscochick]

so I've got as far as my office. and don't seem to be able to get any further. My miscarriage was officially thursday after finding out I'd lost the baby on tuesday last week. We went up to see OH's folks in yorkshire over the weekend and ended up going to our engagement party with 34 members of his family. Yes they had asked me if I wanted to cancel but OH, my MiL and SiL wanted it so much I gave in and went ahead. I just about survived and I thought I was doing OK. But now I just feel empty. I'm only in work because my PhD student needs help and the experiment HAS to be today. A quiet day on my own would have been better. Better head to the lab, sorry, just wanted to moan a little. Few people here know what has happened and everyone is still congratulating us on the engagement without knowing about the miscarriage, what a maelstrom of emotions.

Sorry honey, it can be hard to take the first step back but I did find that being back at work did actually help in the end. It gave me something else to concentrate on. When I was at home it gave me more time to sit and think about it. Hope its the same for you!

i was so nervous to go back to work, just because i didnt know what people were going to say. turns out most people havent said anything to me, and on my second shift back i was informed that other one of the cleaners i supervise was pregnant! thanks for that just what i needed to hear so soon!

not finding work to bad now, like laurat said it does give u something else to do and think about instead of dwelling on it. really hope u have an easy day though hun xx

Actually not coping as well physically as I thought. It seems to have taken more out of me than I realised. Feel sick and very tired. Hoping to slip off early in a bit. Otherwise its not been as bad as I feared as you guys found. Something else to think about helps xx
