Going back to work when nothing feels normal yet.
Going back to work after a loss means walking into a place where everything looks the same and nothing feels the same. People either avoid the subject entirely or bring it up at the worst possible moment.
Returning to Work covers 40 moments, from telling your manager you’re coming back to asking for flexibility months later. Each one comes with plain words you can actually say, so you’re not stuck inventing them on a hard day.

'How are you?' from a coworker
A daily question that hits differently now
This ordinary greeting can carry more weight than the person asking realizes. A simple, honest-but-brief answer, taking it day by day, but doing okay, thanks, lets you respond truthfully without opening a longer conversation you're not up for.
You're allowed to give a different answer on different days, depending on how you're actually doing.
40 moments, including
Every one written as specifically as the sample above.
- Telling your manager you're coming back
- Your first team meeting back
- Crying at work, unexpectedly
- Feeling like you can't concentrate anymore
- Taking a day off without over-explaining
- The anniversary of the loss, at work
