sad

I got an email today from one of my college professors that I still stay in contact with. She let me know that one of my teachers, my favoritest teacher out of all of my years of college died over the weekend. I dont know what im supposed to do, how to deal with it, handle it. The funeral is to far away and I cant go. Im not even sure what to write back to the teacher that emailed me.


My teacher stuck with me the entire time I was in the school of social work, she stuck up for me, believed in me and my abilities completely. She knew to call on me if she wanted an answer because I didnt talk in class. She knew about the cutting and therapy and let me know she cared. I spent hours in her office just hanging out, helping her with her classes. She listened to me when I talked to her, she let me sit in on one of her grad school classes and didnt laugh at me when I told her the students in the class sucked because I knew it and they didnt and I was just the lowly undergrad. She was such a big help and now shes not there anymore :(

I'm so sorry. There never is a "right thing" to say. You could let her know you got the message and thank her for knowing that you would want to know - and express your sympathy to the other staff - and express that the professor meant a great deal to you and was a huge help to you and you will miss her deeply...

You have my sympathy.
