Funeral in the family... opinions please

[cassiesmom]

I'm with Karen on this one. When people say, "Is there anything we can do?" you can say, "Yes, as a matter of fact..." and they will step up to help with the house cleaning. That will be a good thing to have done before baby arrives, too. Could someone else take over for you on the shopping trip? As for the training- some people might think you are creating an excuse to take days off, or to get out of required training, but so what. No one knows your work or your level of stress better than you do. Take the days you need. ((((HUGS)))) and prayers--- Elyse

First of all my sympathies on your father in law to you and your husband. You definetely should take those three days off and not think twice about it, your husband needs you and you have lots to do, thats why the policy is in place.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sorry for your husband's loss as well.

Take all the time you are allowed. You don't get points for working when you "could" be off! Family first! And that means YOUR SANITY is #1, hubby and all the rest fall in line behind YOU.

I agree with everyone who posted before me. Also, I am very sorry for your family's loss.

So sorry for you loss. Agree with what everyone has said. I went back too early after my dad died. You need that time.

Thank you for your condolences.

Its been a very stressful few days. It turns out I would have preferred the training to helping my husband. He was in a royal mood yesterday where he baited everyone into fights to get his own anger out.

The funeral was today and he;s calmed down quite a bit. He's not dealing well with his father's death. Worse than I ever expected. He did so well when his mom passed ten years ago.
