Having bereavement leave does not preclude returning to work. It precludes being forced to return to work when one cannot.

- chrisco255 7y agoI'm not arguing against bereavement leave. I'm making the very real point that moving on is a choice and that 8 weeks or 80 weeks isn't going to make a difference. At some point you have to move on and going back to work is one of the best things to get your mind off of it. But this is really pedantic so that's all I say to this point.
- dwoozle 7y agoExactly. I had 30 days bereavement leave when my mother died but decided to return to work after a week. It was a world of difference from just having the week.
- slavik81 7y agoThere are practical reasons for bereavement leave, too. My father-in-law passed away suddenly. He was a CPA and died during tax season. Wrapping up his business, organizing a funeral and executing his will took my wife a couple weeks.
