I keep thinking I know this is temporary, but it is such a loooooong temporary.

You did what you could to show up for another person. I’m sure that meant so much.Stacey Shubitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903206728640184043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757543282706779169.post-14621178335117026212020-11-17T19:38:50.282-06:002020-11-17T19:38:50.282-06:00Donnetta, I’ve been reading C.S.

Sometimes that’s all one can do when all parts of life are competing to be the most difficult. Sending you peace and light.

There have been so many stories breaking my heart lately and I am trying to do what I can do- pray, send a donation when I can, be supportive and present- even if it just on social media. Glad you can offer support when needed.

I think the second is harder - I mean, the diminished social emotional connection to and with our students is the most painful part of this pandemic. Academics - I believe - can be caught up. Raw emotional pain - let's deal with it now, keep it small. I hope you were able to provide this student with ideas/resources for additional help.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404917167112072640noreply@blogger.com
