I miscarried a week and a half to two weeks ago. I tried to quit my job but my bosses harassed me into just taking the week off and coming back. Today is my first day back and I’m really struggling. I wasn’t ready for this. I was only quitting because I can’t get medical or any type of leave from my job because I’ve only been here about 5-6 months. It’s a really stressful environment and my boss has me working 6 days in a row right off the bat, she never had me do that even before the miscarriage so I feel like I’m being punished for missing the week. My husband works 60 hours a week, and although our bills would be paid, we would be so broke it’s not funny. Do you think there’s any chance that under these circumstances I could get unemployment for a month of two so I could properly mourn this loss, and take care of my health. Or are there any grants or anything for stuff like this?

I am so overwhelmed and have no idea what to do.
