“Get on with it” is so cruel, especially losing two loved ones within a few days. I sometimes think people who say this are afraid of how to deal someone else’s emotions.? A hug would have been better. After my husband died, eldest son and I agreed after the first week or two that sometimes we just needed to disappear now and then, if we just needed a few minutes. You might find that a useful strategy at work, just let your manager know. I accepted every social invitation, but told my hostess not to worry if I quietly went home without drawing attention to myself by saying Goodbye. I needed to be among people but didn’t always want to chat like normal.
