UPDATE:
I thought it would be just easier to update this post than to start a new one.
Yesterday was my student's funeral. I think I got a lot of closure from that. And maybe the 6 shots of tequila my BFF found for me last night. You guys told me to take comfort where I could find it!
I am doing pretty well with the m/c as well. We are trying again.
You guys are the most wonderful group of people EVER. You have no idea how amazingly comforting it is to have you guys (well, maybe you do, since you all have us, too). Anyway, a huge thank you for your support. I you guys (and no, I promise I am not BWI).
**Original post**
I'm sorry to be a PW/AW. You guys are amazing. I really appreciate all of you posting in my other thread (okay, all my threads), but I really need somewhere to get this out. Feel free to ignore if you're tired of my pity party.
When we were all pg with our April babies, I worked in a special program one-on-one with the same student for the entire year. When I had LO a month early, they couldn't afford to continue the program. He dropped out just before finishing 8th grade. I considered taking this kid in, but we were expecting, and I didn't feel like we could take on him and LO. And I know that you have to keep your professional distance from your students, etc.
I got a call yesterday (two days after my m/c started) that he committed suicide on Sunday. I am devastated. I just don't feel equal to the grief right now.

Wow, that is shocking and hard to comprehend.
It definitely would rattle me and bother me at any point, but especially on top of the m/c.
I am so sorry to hear about your student. You will be in my thoughts.
