Parents don't want to leave work, or ask to leave during the workday, or leave early, because it doesn't look as if they're being a good employee, but they can't do it after work, because they have other children or other things to attend to.
I think counselling is so important, and I think doing some of that grief work is important, and we don't have that time to do that if we're back at work. Two years sounds like so long. I think when people hear that Gillian was off for two years.... Those two years flew by. As I said, I was busy doing a lot of that grief work. There wasn't a moment that I was just feeling like I was on vacation.
