I see where your going with your thoughts Pig, my dad died of cancer the 1st day of 3 days off, i went to work after the 3 days were up, because my mums sister had come down to stay with her i was able to, i told no-one at work, on the day i didnt pull my daughter out of school, i let her go ( got the phone call at about 8am) and told her after she came back. ( we were expecting it, but not quite as soon as it happened, he'd been booked into hospice care the next week )

I'd spent the day comforting my mum and phoning family, i guess in hindsight, i wanted to be somewhere where everything was the same as it was before he died.

The only time anyone knew was when i booked a day off for the funeral, they were sympathetic and really shocked that i had not told them.
