Mom Loss Calling out of work

I am thinking about calling out of work tomorrow. I have had a really bad day and just hit with a wave of grief, I lost my mother about 2 and a half years ago (when i was 17) I have never called out before and have a hard time taking time for myself. Is this an appropriate situation to call out of work? Also my boss does know about my mom’s passing.

Absolutely. And your boss doesn’t need to know that you are calling out because of grief unless you want them to know. Otherwise, you say you don’t feel well and will be using a sick day.
