My mum has passed away

Hello, My mum passed away Thursday evening in my arms.
The next morning my daughter safely delivered my first grandchild, a beautiful healthy lil boy .
Mum had been diagnosed just two months with illness.
I went from work last Monday afternoon , I haven't been back since .
I'm all the place , emotionally.
Wishing it was 20 years ago so I still had time with my mum , yet thrilled with my grandson .
Bit scared to call work , I suffer with depression for the sat 8 years & I feel nervous about having to go back or speak to people .
Mums funeral is next Wednesday , so I don't know what to do .
I live on my own , not ideal at this time I suppose.

Oh I am so very sorry for your loss, embrace your grief, don't feel guilty or ashamed about it and don't be scared to let your workmates know how low you feel, they will understand.
Let the joy of your grandchild help ease the pain look at her and see what a wonderful legacy your mum left.

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your mum. It is no wonder that you feel all over the place at the moment. Take care of yourself OP and don't try to cope with too much. I hope you have the love and support of family and friends to help you through this difficult time. Also that your work will be compassionate and caring when you inform them of what you are going through.

Congratulations on the safe arrival of your first grandson. That is lovely news. Enjoy him.

It must be hard at the moment, sadness for your mum and joy at your grandson.
Is there someone that you can speak to at work to let them know what has happened, they will not expect you to work while you have so much going on.
Hope Wednesday goes well

So sorry to hear your loss. Can you ask a friend to call your work and explain your situation. I'm sure they will understand, I would if I was your boss, but you do need to let them know.

Congratulations on your new grandson xx

Deepest sympathy on the passing of your mum. Please, like previous people have said, grieve freely and know its ok to smile and enjoy the new baby.

Thinking of you and your family at this truly mixed time.xx

Sorry for your loss xx. Can you email work? It's much easier than having to talk. You could always follow up with a phone call to make sure they received it, but you won't have to explain everything.
