It's really hard. Fortunately, I was able to take the day off the next day, and then had pre-planned holiday, but I don't know how I'd have managed otherwise. You just have to hope you have a sympathetic boss, otherwise just grin and bear it. I found the best way (for me) was to listen to some...

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful boy. He was very loved, and well remembered, and who could ask for more than that?

It's impossible not to feel guilt amongst the grief, but as the person above said, such feelings are normal and they will go. You loved him, and you cared for him, and you did the right thing. He had a great life with you, but the time came when the pain for him was too much and you had to make...
