I had mixed emotions about going
back to work after my 6 weeks were up. My co-workers were extremely excited for
me while I was pregnant; and extremely supportive and caring during the initial
time after the loss. I work for a federal agency so once my leave was up I had
to be back into work functioning at 150%.
I still remember that first day back
at work. After receiving multiple hugs that day, I would keep trying to focus
but it was the hardest thing to just return to 'business as usual”. I remember
I went to the bathroom at least 3 times that first day just to cry. It is
amazing how the world continues on like nothing has ever happened when the
world has stopped for you when your baby died.
