Returning to work after caring for family

I stepped out for 9 months to care for a family member and now want to return. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I have been taking an online course. What helped?

Be straightforward about the break and focus on what you bring now.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
