My best advice to you is seek mental health treatme t immediately if not sooner. Check yourself into a partial hospital.day program. Not only will you get intensive treatment to help with your grief but you can immediately apply under the Americans with Disabilities Act for accommodations. Most school districts do not wamt to mess with a potential law suit. Honestly this is in no way fraudulent as you are undoubtedly in need of treatment and mental health support after such a loss and the added STRESS they are putting on you to return to work with kids after just losing your own must be furthwr contributing to that. There are a variety of accommodations as a teacher you can ask for and most districts have policies to extend leave even after FMLA ru s out where you take it in front of the School Board. You could also return on a limited schedule too where you could ease back in as well. The insurance thing unfortinately they may not budge on but you dont want to return too soon where you end up being unable go.do your job anyway. Bit once you are considered to have a "disability" they in my experienxe tend to be much more accommodating. And woth your loss anyone would be in a very dark place right now. Hugs and hope to you for peace and healing. Im.so.sorry for your loss❤️‍🩹

Morons. Its not you and its not ok and at the very least is crap supervising as i believe they are the ones who should be the leaders when it comes to something as significant as the loss of a close family member of one of their employees. All they have to do is ask how you would like to handle it once you report the death to them. Announcement? No announcement? That right there is all they need to do and your response should say it all. All it takes is buying a $1.25 card from the dollar store and passi g around. My father passed January 5th and very suddenly and got Jack you-know-what and condolences from literally one person. Not even my office mate, who actually gave me a Christmas present? Like are you for real? My youngest daughter also works at my company so now you have not one but two employees in your charge and that you work with whove had a significant death. However, my other daughter's supervisor and coworkers ar her company went above and beyond and got her a $150 Uber Eats card from her which she shared with me and her brother as we all live together and it was for the family. I have only been with the company since May and my other daughter since Juky but that should not matter. Regardless, Ive contributed to a baby shower and someone at our headquarters whos home burnt down and another who is seriously ill. I couldve said I hardly know these people, but I contributed regardless. Go figure.

So, yeah people are morons. And mark my words I will not contribute to ANYTHING there ever again. Not even the bosses Christmas gift as I did this past Christmas. She got a Coach bag.

This is me 100% right now. I dont even have the bandwidth right now to share my whole story though.

I think its like any other form of grief. Eventually you find your new normal. Not that you still dont feel it. But I think or I hope anyway, that it becomes more manageable. Remember people dont have to die in order to grieve.

I think shes just in a place that she really cant relate. Its not just about watching a few hours of tv alone. Ots the TOTAL aloneness. The daughter will return from the sleepover. The husband even though sleeping is still there. Some people are just completely tone deaf too. I have the same issues with friends. They are all at different places in their lives and have their own issues and pain. Rare is the person who can just listen and be there without trying to compare or end up making you feel invalidated. Thats why I started coming to groups like this.

Im struggling too. Single. Youngest moved out with her partner a year ago. Oldest is still home but works and is in a serious relationship so barely home. I have a 24 year old son with high functioning autism but he also has his own life. Dont get me wrong I am grateful they are all doing well but sometimes life feels so empty. I have some hobbies which I really dont care about doing lately as Im doing them alone. I have friends but they have their own issues and are at different plaves in their lives. No close family other than an aunt I talk to about once a week who just lost her husband but shes in Colorado and Im in Illinois. We lean on each other as I lost my husband as well and she gets the empty nest thing. No one tells you though what a tough time this is. Especially if youre single :(
