For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

@outlander If people think you are managing then they wont up his eligiblity for services. Sometimes its the squeaky wheel that gets the attention. or you may get fobbed off.
Yes we are a group species ... even some of us more solo types.
Maybe phone the hospital and get them to connect you to right place. ...hmmmm .... one day ... dont put it off too long ...when you have an hour to spare ....

Sorry about the woman you met that died suddenly @Appleblossom It is never a nice feeling even when you have just met someone. I hear you about doing something that recognises the relationship we had. I think the best way I can honour her is to do the job we both love(d) as well as I can. I have the opportunity next term to take my own class for the term and whilst it would be great to have her to bounce that off - she is no longer here to go that so I will take everything I learned from her into that role. That is the best way I can think of to honour her memory and the massive influence she had on me over so many years.

Sounds like a good plan @Zoe7
Whether you designate a small token or amulet to remind you of her, or just let memories, images, words etc naturallly rise up within you, as you are teaching.
This pic is for me as much as anyone.

That image is lovely @Appleblossom It is so hard to not look back but taking forward memories of her and what she taught me is so important. She would want that for me also Thank you for the thoughts here and the space to talk about what the loss has meant to me - you have really helped Apple
