[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just give her sometime OP. I actually lost my spouse shortly after giving birth. I took a few months before I started looking for a job. I found one about 4 months after. I showed up to work every day with a smile...right after crying my eyes out in the car. The baby I was caring for actually made things easier for me. My own baby was a joy but I tended to get sad around him because of his loss. Babies make me happy so I was fine at work. I think all she needs is time and understanding. I think you've been generous so far but unless you see evidence of neglect, I would just let her be...especially seeing your baby is still so young.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you for your thoughtful response and for sharing your experience. I am so sorry for your loss, your resilience is inspiring! I think you're right. Will let it be for now. [/quote]

You're welcome and thank you! Grief isn't something you get over; it's something you learn to manage. One day, your nanny will get there. The first year is the absolute worst but it gets easier each day. I still have rough days but I have a beautiful child who keeps me smiling.[/quote]
