Are you losing anyone? You can view the question in any way you want.
I am. This one teacher at my school is one of the best women on this earth. She isn't afraid to say what she thinks, she speaks 8 languages, she knows almost everything, she is witty, caring, and a lovely person. I saw during the summer, and about 2 weeks later it was discovered that she has a brain tumor. This of course meant that she couldn't teach. I was very concerned, but she is so strong, I figured there was hope. I sent her a letter with a pendant that I made. Everyone has been trying to help her. My friend emailed her, and today she got a horrifying response (in perfect french). She says that she isn't going to recover at all. She is going to die. I feel horrible. I feel horrible for her, because she knows she is going to die. I feel horrible for her daughter, because she doesn't have a dad, and now her mother will be gone. And I feel horrible for myself and everyone close to her. It was such a huge bombshell to get this news by email, I just burst out crying. A few days prior, I decided to write on the white board of her old class room (people still call it her room, not her replacement's) "We love you (name). Keep on trooping." I feel so helpless because there is nothing I can do.
So, anyone else experiencing grief/in the process of losing someone? Have you ever been in a situation like this before? How did you deal with it?
