Luckily I’m still in good standing, but today is emotionally draining because of one particular job, at which I’m still stuck.
Basically, this 20 -something guy took his own life because he was bullied for being gay. Now his parents are having us clean out his apartment.... which still has a bullet hole in the wall. This whole situation hits really close to home ( I’ve lost people to suicide and I’m L GBT myself) and I’m having trouble keeping it together. I think I’m going to take tomorrow off.
This really sucks. I’ve done cleanouts of deceased people’s things before, but they had always been old people who died naturally. I don’t know if I can handle anything like this again.

You’re helping the family, and indirectly helping the person who sadly
took their life
. I know when I’ve been around situations where people are lost violently and suddenly, often it is nearly impossible for the family to go in to (or even near) where the event occurred. And that’s not because they didn’t love or care deeply about the person, but because they are still struggling with what happened.
There’s nothing you can do to turn back the clock, but you can help the people left behind and ensure the job is done in a respectful way.
But I totally understand if you call in sick, it is not an easy situation.

You’ve needed a new job for awhile if your description of co-workers is even remotely accurate.

Oh yeah, for sure. I enjoy the job ( most of the time) but I can’t stand most of these guys.

That’s awful - my heart goes out to that family, and to you as well, because I’m sure that’s a painful experience.
I completely agree with both CalzoneGolem and someassemblyrequired, too.

I’m so sorry, that’s sounds like a very difficult and hard day. I’m so sorry for your losses too.
