I don't know what state you live in, but in NJ, we have a family leave act that allows you to take up to (I think) 90 days for family reasons.....(ie birth of a child, sick spouse/parent, etc etc). I'm not sure of all the details, but you can probably look it up on line or ask your HR person for info........you may be able to take some time off under that to recoup and get yourself back on your feet. If you have been at your company for a long time, and have always shown "good performance", I bet they will see what had transpired in your work and cut you some slack. (Just my opinion) Having worked in a family business for many years, I know that a happy employee is a productive employee.....

Good luck to you....I'm sorry that you have had so many "life-changing" events happen in such a short period of time. God Bless!!
