[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A doctor will not label me as temporarily disabled because I'm not. I feel as though I am not only capable of working, but that I will benefit from doing so. My therapist agrees with me.

I spent the entire first week after his passing doing nothing but sitting around and grieving and mourning but that had to stop. Sitting around and doing nothing but crying and grieving is not healthy for more than a week or so (and maybe not even healthy for that long). I had to get out of the house and do things. I am young and I have to live my life. I'm not saying that I am on the market in terms of dating or anything (trust me, I won't be for a long time), but I need to be out of the house doing things, connecting with friends and family, making money, and trying to have some kind of normalcy in my life. Putting my entire life on hold for an entire year would not benefit me and it would just encourage me to mope around and feel sorry for myself.

I'm not saying that I'm over his death, I'm not. I am in mourning and I am still grieving; I will be for a long time. I cry everyday but it is in private and it is generally silent tears, not uncontrollable sobbing (that was the first week).

I would not normally disclose this much of my personal life to a public forum on the internet but I feel like people are seeing me as cold and heartless for feeling like I am ready to be working again already.

You also have to keep in mind that it can take months to find a suitable nannying position in some areas (especially the area I am in!) and that though I am searching and interviewing for jobs right now that it will probably be at least several weeks before I am in a position. [/quote]

Grieving is a very important, healthy part of mourning. Google the reasons why grieving is important. (I don't feel like typing it all on here lol.)[/quote]
