Going back to work 1 year on

Natalie

I have been so, so fortunate to have spent just over a year with my daughter at home, but tomorrow I have to go back to work and I am absolutes devastated. Again, I’m lucky that I can go part time and I get the afternoons with her, but I’m just struggling with the idea of being away from my little one and feel no one gets it. I keep telling myself that it’ll be fine once I’m there and I will get used to leaving her everyday, but that doesn’t seem to be making it any easier. I’ve spent the day in tears even though I left her today for a few hours while I got my hair done. Every time someone asked about her, I’d get a lump in my throat. Is anyone else struggling or has struggled and can offer advice or glimmer of hope that it’ll all be ok?
