About 3 weeks after my MC I felt like I needed more responsibility since I was going to be missing out on parenting responsibility. I informed my team lead and my manager that I wanted the team captain position. This involved taking on much more challenging workloads and campaigns (the company I work for does business to business telemarketing for technology companies). At first I was gung-ho as a way to distract myself. I have since realized that the reason I wanted more responsibility was a direct reaction to feeling like I needed to change something in my life. It was one of those "life decisions" that we sometimes get advised NOT to pursue (like getting a dog or moving across town) right after our MC's.
How do I tell my boss that with school and everything else, I don't actually have the mental capacity and focus to thrive on these more challenging campaigns? How do I withdraw my previous request for "more responsibility" without it sounding like I'm just being lazy? Now that my life and emotions are finally leveling off and I'm coping better, I realize that asking to be considered for this position is not really what I wanted to do?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Like I said, this may just depend on the kind of relationship you have with them. Either way, though, I'm sure they'd appreciate knowing how you feel so they can consider other candidates.
Good luck!
I think we try to find other things to take our mind off our loss. Other things to fill that hole. Things to make us feel better. While some of these things may bring us some happpiness, it is not lasting. We need time to grieve. Society over looks MC, basically like we need to get over it. They dont see how painful it really is. So it makes it hard because we, in a way, have to grieve in silence.
If you feel you cant take on this responsibily, you need to let your boss know that. Be honest about your situation. Dont overwhelm yourself. Thats what I did and I wish I didnt,
I'm sorry for your loss, and I wish you the best of luck.
Oh, and if all else fails... pray!
