My Brother Is Gone....What Do I Do About Time Off?

[Josiegirl]

I'm so very sorry Lala. I cannot imagine your pain right now.
PLEASE do what you feel you need to now, for yourself, and don't worry about your families.
All I can say is when I lost each of my parents, I took a week off. When I lost my son, I shut my daycare down for the whole summer. So no matter what you decide, daycare will still be there. Just worry about you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I agree with the others. You need to take as much time off as you need to be able to properly grieve. If your dc families can't understand that, they are not worth having. Praying you find comfort and peace with the situation. Take care of you first though, so you can be able to take care of the little ones when you are ready.

Sorry to hear that. :hug: to you and your family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you are going through. As everyone else said take all the time you need. You and your family will be in my prayers. :hug::hug:

I am so sorry for your loss. I agree with the others that you need to take whatever time you need. Every person processes grief differently and you need to do what you need to.

So sorry to hear about your brother. Take as much time as you feel is necessary. This is hard to deal with and I'm sure they will understand.

Oh LaLa I'm so sorry! Take off as much time as you need!

[Laurel]

I am so sorry for your loss. That is rough. Just do what you need to do for as long as you need to. You just have to.

Hugs, Laurel

Thank you all !

My family and I have so many unanswered questions. We are all grieving.

I never got a chance to say goodbye, I think that's the hardest part.

It really stinks when your loss is made public. No one knows the entire story about what happened yet, but the media has blown it out of the water. My family has already made a statement.

I will post more about this when I know more.

Thank you for your support.

I am so sorry for your loss! I think at least a week is certainly reasonable!

Take care of yourself:hug:

Oh I am so sorry for your loss. It is tough losing a sibling. I lost my brother when I was a teenager. I am still not ok. Hugs and more.
