first day *with update

first day back to work after losing my son. wish me luck. it's memorial day weekend and I work at Walmart as a manager... I need all that I can.

~~~Update~~~

My day actually went very well. The people I work with are so very loving and supportive. They all welcomed me back with open arms (literally). I don't think I've been hugged so much in my life and I come from a big family of huggers lol. I learned that multiple women I work with went through losses for various reasons, including my manager for the front end (which is my area of work). I even volunteered to work an extra two hours my first day back since the others have covered for me for almost two months while I've been away. It felt great getting back to work. Especially knowing that my team is so wonderful.

One cashier that I've known for about 6-7 years now from previous jobs asked me a few questions about my "maternity leave" and I guessed that she was pregnant. She was so red in the face and worried I'd be upset about finding out. I cried happy tears for her. I was completely happy for her. Not a single oz of sadness or jealousy. And told her whenever she wanted to talk about the baby or any questions she had not to hesitate, I'd be there.

So yeah... Surprisingly things went very very well ❤️❤️❤️
