[quote=Anonymous]It varies a lot. I took 2 weeks when my parent died but I wasn't handling the paperwork and estate; surviving parent did that. My boss was understanding and let me work from home completely for the first 2 weeks I was back. I just did not want to deal with people, all of whom were well-meaning and sympathetic, but for that first month i'd cry any time someone mentioned my mom. Did not want to do that at work. A colleague lost his parent and only took a week, came back for a week, then had to take several more weeks off as it was too soon and he could not function. 6 weeks or more does seem like a lot on paper, but if a house must be cleaned out under time pressure, or the parent lived far away and there are things to settle out of town, I can totally see it. It's really hard to do that stuff from afar, and time-consuming and expensive to travel to do it more than just a couple of times.[/quote]
