Today is my first day back to work and my nerves are frazzled!! Everyone has been at my desk wanting the details of what happened, to extend their sympathy and to see how i'm doing. I know they are just concerned but I just want to be left alone and not talk about it. It only upsets me and I don't want to sit all day at my desk crying. I prefer to grieve at home. Not that its not on my mind every second of the day but I just want to concentrate on work so that I don't have to think about it for a little while. Just needed to vent a little.

I'm so sorry The first day back sucks. Hell the first week back sucks. It will get easier though. Hang in there.

I understand exactly what you mean. I was 7 mo pg when I lost my baby and I work with the public so at first it was torture having to go back. all my customers wanted to know if I had a boy of girl and what we named her. I struggled at first but then used all the attention as a source of therapy. Sounds crzy but by them asking it gave me an opportunity to talk about my baby and deal with my grief. I met some amzing women who at one point in their lives had dealt with the same thing.
At first I felt like God was just being mean to me. Why would He let all these ppl continue to ask about my baby and rub it in my face that I would never be able to hold her. In time I realized they were looking out for me and all the women that I met gave me hope and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel.
