This is something that desperately needs to be changed. I can't imagine having only 3 days to handle all of the physical and emotional pain of losing a spouse.Aug 21st, 2013Someone from Murrieta, CA signed.

I took vacation time after my husband passed to give me time. I was thankful at that time, that we didn't have any children. I'm not sure how I'd have handled helping them through their grief, let alone mine...in 1.5 weeks. It is the hardest thing I have been through, emotionally and physically.REPORT COMMENTS

I lost my husband at the age of 47. Three days is not enough to handle all of the things that must be done. Emotionally you are not ready!REPORT COMMENTS

I was widowed at 40 after my 38 year old spouse lost his 2 year battle with cancer. There was no way I could return to work after a 3 day bereavement. This is so right, it is almost embarrassing.REPORT COMMENTS
