I graduated from nursing school just last May. I met some people I didn't really like, and I met some that I like a whole lot. Like regular life. I am not the type that hangs out a lot. In fact, I am pretty much a home-body. Lots of kids, and they go everywhere with me.
At first in nursing school I felt very alone. When my daughter's death day came around, I felt more alone. I planned a benefit with my derby league last year and one instructor and one friend from nursing school came. My friend was Nikki. I am really grateful that she took the time one day to keep me from just walking out and not coming back. It made a difference to me. I watched her struggle with her husband leaving because they are a military family... and now sadly, she has said good bye to her husband for the very last time. He got liver cancer. And instead of the 5 years they thought he had, he died in a very, very short time. I wish I could take it away for her.
It's hard to watch. It's hard to relive my own past. It's hard to know, that it could be someone else I love in the future. I struggle with many of the same things that my friends have struggled with trying to help me. There is nothing you can do to make it go away. All you can do is be there.
Hug your loved ones. Life is too short to spend it being angry.
