I know exactly what you mean. I called in to work one day to say I wouldn't be in because I just couldn't function. My boss just didn't get it and was very upset with me. Just know you are not alone in this roller coaster. Some days are ok and some aren't. Losing my husband is like losing a part of my soul. Everyone keeps saying I'll be ok but it's hard to see how sometimes. Keep posting, sometimes it helps to just put the feelings out there.

I know what u mean.After working my whole life it's strange to suddenly not be able to function.I tried to continue working after my sis died,but it was so hard.Any time I would see someone that would remind me of my sis I would have a total breakdown.I finnaly quit because I was always red eyed from crying.I tried to do my best giving good costomer servise.one time I smiled at a customer(and it was genuine),but he got in my face and asked me harshly what was wrong with me. I said"what?I smiled at you.".and he said "yeah...a FAKE smile."he was so rude and mean.I just couldnt deal with the public anymore.unless someone has gone through a loss,they just dont understand.

I keep wondering the same thing. It is an awful ride and it is interesting to know we all seem to go through it. I guess on the awful days, we just have to hang on and know there will be better one's ahead of us.
