Keep reliving that fated phone call.
Backstory
I received a phone call about the death of one my students. He had been in my class for 2 years (as part of a 3 year HS program,) so he was very familiar. I can hear the voice on the other end of the phone. And I keep hearing it. I even see myself getting the call. Having a hard time remembering without reliving. This is the first I have 'spoken' about it in hopes that it will help me move forward. My head is still reeling in the days prior to and after that call. by ChefJim in Six-Word Memoirs on Jan 05, 2013 |

so sorry...hard to live with...but I have faith that you find a way to go on for the many other young lives you (positively) impact.Dean6805 says,
I'm sorry to hear about this, Jim. Anyone who works in a school becomes attached to the students quickly. I hope you feel peace about it soon.lovelylizard says,
Condolences, CJ. How can we ever be prepared or anticipate bad news? I can tell you that time will help soften the shock. You have to go through the process of grief to come through the other side, no shortcuts, I'm afraid.canadafreeze says,
May the memory fade and may you find some peace...NumbrOneAunt says,
i am truly sorry for your loss. it's a good thing for your students, though, that they have a teacher who really cares about them. hope that this memoir has proven to be a small step forward.ChefJim says,
Thank you all for your kindness. What's the line... "The kindness of strangers..."I think it is time for me to talk to a professional. I am in this gray twilight that does not seem to be lifting.
Thank you for listening to me.
