I too am struggling with the juggling. And the awful guilt.

I returned to work less than 2 weeks after Little Jon's death. I had quit my teaching job 2 weeks before he died, so I returned to the movie theater as an asst manager. It was very difficult and there were days jOn had to drive me to work as I was too scared to make myself go. But staying home without any kids was horrible too.

Good luck with it all. What kind of work will you be doing?
update when you can.

Love, Lynece

[> Good luck Heather (m) -- Heath111, 21:50:18 01/19/04 Mon

I know I cried the night before I went back to work. It sounds crazy but I was just so scared to go back and face my high schoolers without my round tummy and without a baby (and to stand before them feeling so vulnerable). It turned out to be a good thing and really helped me heal. Still, the first week was hard especially the lady who asked me how my little one was and I just said, "He died." I feel bad for the lady now. She really had no idea.

Good luck,

Heather
