Today I Found Out Someone That I Knew Passed

Tweet

I am in the process of applying to and interviewing for school jobs and I had to ask some people I know and have known for reference letters for an upcoming interview. In that process, I discovered that someone I have done childcare for in the past died last year leaving behind 2 daughters who I babysat for. There was an article in the Globe about her struggling with anorexia throughout her life and she was only 44 when she died. Her daughters are 8 and 10. They had to move out of Boston and to Connecticut with their uncle and aunt. I found the GoFundMe page and sent a message to their uncle. I cannot contribute right now but I may in the future if I can. I really liked the single mom and daughters and those 2 girls were 2 of my favorite kids to care for. It was such a shock and so very sad. What have others experienced with this type of thing?
