It's true...honor the feeling of wanting to help, even if it may not be in the same setting. You will transition from this to some one different.
Then, there may be another student body to teach. (It's my secret mantra now getting me through).
My lawsuit settled, but after health insurance took their liens (I had no idea they could recoup their costs! I thought that was what premiums were. no wonder they have record profits. how am I ever to save for years of not being able to work!) No closure.
I saw the neuro-ophalmologist yesterday. After almost a year, little change in my vision. Very frustrating. Breathe.
Be kind to yourself. There will be some good change. Some kindness along the way. Some chocolate. Some rainbows. Some hugs. Promise.
