    I hope to one day work as a grief & bereavement counselor... it's been just over 3 years since we lost our precious angels, I still grieve tremendously to this day... absolutely agree that we all deserve time to grieve...

    In a split second your world is gone. I'm not sure how I survived. It is crazy that it is not included under the FMLA.

    because I could not get LOA I had to resign my position I wasn't capable of controlling my own emotions I could not manager a large retail store. Its been 6 weeks and I still don't feel I have my grief under control. There will come a time when I can once again have a better grip with my emotions and at that time I will have no job

    My husband died in 2004..I couldn't function afterwards. I often wondered, and still do, just how DO people survive this if they have to go back to work. I would have been useless.

    This should be mandatory for all who lose a child or a spouse!
