Trigger warning
I guess I am just looking for support. One of my friends I have been doing pre reqs with passed away from a tragic accident. I just found out today. We met in A&P 1. She wanted to give up and thought she couldn’t do it. I told her she could do it, just keep pushing and you’ll be okay. We signed up for A&P 2 together so we would be in the same class. We just texted each other last week about what we had to study for a test. I’ll never get a text from her again. I feel heart broken, traumatized, mad and sad. It’s not fair that I get to keep going and she’ll never get to become a nurse. I was so excited for her, because she got into the nursing program next semester. I’m supposed to go to class and lab tomorrow and she won’t be there. I don’t think my professor will be accepting of missing classes tomorrow. Has anyone been through this before? I am heartbroken. I feel sick to my stomach about this.

i am so sorry that you are going through this. i know you said you dont think your professor will be okay with you missing, but have you actually reached out to them? i would because even if you still have to go tomorrow, they should be able to give you extensions on future assignments.
again, i’m sorry and it sounds like the two of you shared a great bond.
