How Long After Natural Miscarriage Should I Be Off Work?

Hi Dr. After bleeding for 3 days I had a natural miscarriage at 6 weeks pregnancy and a D&C 2 days thereafter. How long should I be off work? Although I dont have severe physical pain anymore, I am however very emotional and feeling down and can't sleep at all for several days now.
