Trying not to cry at the office

[mizgarnet]

I am trying very hard to not cry and to not lose it here at the office. I was okay until my husband called. He knows I am in an open office and I can not discuss home issues yet he persists in calling me about them. Sometimes they are important and I step outside and handle. I know he needs me and I know it is precious he likes to stay in touch but...I am closing the year, I need info that seems to be "lost", and so it goes ... I went to my brother in law's funeral mass last evening. Rob was only 58. He died on New Year's Eve. There was no warning, no heart attack, nada, just an infection. If I keep typing I am going to boohoo like a collicky baby.

Hugs to all,
Wendy

I'm sorry for your loss i lost my uncle 6 months ago to leukemia and my step-dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer the day after christmas its hard dealing with death even when you know its coming. probably one of the hardest things a person has to go through and even harder for the ones left behind im still crying like a baby from my uncle's death its ok to cry and its ok to take time off from work or if you tell your boss about what happened then he/she should be understandable and let you take the time off if need be or to be able to have breaks to call your husband or to just cry your boss should be understanding if not go to their boss and explain

Thanks y'all, I am fortunate that my bosses do understand and that they own the company. They have been very supportive. The year end accounting is kicking my you know what this time. I think I am just tired. Now I am dealing with snow and ice. South Carolina is not well prepared for the winter weather.

Grieving takes a long time. I am so sorry to hear about your uncle and your dad's diagnosis. I will keep you and them in my thoughts and prayers.
