I have been in your shoes, losing someone unexpectedly. It was one of the hardest things I have ever dealt with.


Please know you have a huge amount of support here and that we all are behind you.


Take care of yourself, let your families deal with themselves.

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine your pain.

I would take as much time as you need. You need to put your own mental health ahead of daycare at this time. I would tell the parents that you will be closed for at least the rest of this week.

I think how long you are closed after that depends on your financial situation and your own back up support.

If your financial situation allows, you could ask them to find care for next week. I know that some of mine have grandparents, friends,...that could watch without any trouble. I have a few that back up care is difficult, so I might consider just taking them, simply because I couldn't afford to lose them. If you need to have everyone next week due to finances, consider having someone there with you (if licensing allows) in case you need to take some breaks.

Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
