Good luck Woods... Many years ago, I was dating a geriatric care nurse when her first patient died. She was pretty upset and depressed for quite awhile. Eventually, she got to the point where she could accept losing her patients, but never stopped feeling the sorrow at their passing. It is a great calling, but emotionally draining.
Ring... I am sorry for your loss. Even expecting it (as one might with older neighbours), one is never prepared for the actuality.
Today, I'm still anxious, but tending towards anger/frustration over my work situation. My co-workers are in shock, and by comparison, I'm lying in a bed of roses.
