Ugh, I’ve had such a sad week.
I work in a school for children with disabilities, some of them life limiting. One of the boys died on Tuesday, he was only 16, and had been with us since he was 4.
I spent yesterday talking to the other children and staff and supporting them through their shock and utter sadness.
Our kids are just amazing and so compassionate over each other. They never complain despite everything they have to deal with.
I feel heartbroken for them and for his parents and siblings. I feel like I’ve got a pain in my chest permanently today.
We’ve lost children before and I’ve been to many funerals, it’s a harsh fact of working with these kids.
But this seems to be hurting so much deeper this time. My emotions are so much closer to the surface...
