Mods please do not put this on public social media

I was second on scene to a horrific crash this week killed one of my students.

I could do nothing for her.

My heart hurts and all I can see is Fire and EMS working on her.

Since I started at this job, I have lost 16 kids, some current students, some in lower grades and some post grads

MVA's, suicide, fire, cancer, other organic diseases...

Please keep this family in your thoughts.

So we are a week out, and I personally am feeling a little better. Having the wake and funeral over with, spending a lot of time with my local fire and EMS friends was HUGELY helpful.

I have received a lot of support and that makes all the difference in the world. I know there are better days ahead.

Thanks again to all of my SN peeps, you truly do make a difference!! XOXO

Nutmegge- I am so sorry about all this loss, pain, and heartache.( I am just catching up after being gone a few days). It is so extra hard when there is just no way figure all the "whys" and "what if's". I am so glad to read your update and that you are moving forward and that you are feeling a little better. Many big hugs to you and your school and community.

I have many times found comfort in this verse:

[h=1]Psalm 56:8 (NLT)[/h]8 You keep track of all my sorrows.

You have collected all my tears in your bottle.

You have recorded each one in your book.

I am so sorry for your loss. You and your student's and families are in my thoughts and prayers :(

Truly sorry for your loss and the loss of that nursing students family! We lost a nursing student this past year to cancer. They were diagnosed when the program was almost over, had had zero symptoms prior but only lived 5 months after the diagnosis. It is really sad to know they didn't get to see their dream come to fruition. Prayers!!
