I lost my Dad to cancer two and a half weeks ago and his funeral was the end of last week. I still don't feel like it's fully hit me; I think it's just started to hit me the last few days after his funeral but I still feel numb. I almost feel like I just feel nothing, no emotion, just blank, and that makes me feel guilty. I want to mourn my Dad but I just feel nothing. I often find I'm zoning out and just staring into space. Anything out of the ordinary feels overwhelming. Is this normal?

I've been off work now for 3 weeks, I was initially signed off by the GP as my Dad had come home, after a battle to get him home, for end of life care. We had no carers initially and so I moved back in with my parents to help provide that care. I'm supposed to be back at work tonight, work aren't pressuring me at all, but I work in healthcare and we're permanently short-staffed. I feel like I should be going back. I feel like people's expectations are that I should be going back. How do you know when you're ready?
