Giget,
I went through the same thing in January/February. My job let me take 3 weeks. I had to take 4. (Long, ugly story.) There was no "grace period" when I came back. They piled the work on me as if I had never had a problem.
My only suggestion is to tell people "I understand this is important to you. However, I am swamped right now. I can' do it in the next couple of days if you can't find someone else to take care of it for you." It hasn't always worked, but it helped.
The main thing is to keep yourself from getting to stressed, emotional, or overwhelmed with it all. Speak up if you are. Nothing is more important than yourself right now. :)
