(please reaad previous entry if you are on my favs and if you have not yet. I would really appreciate it)
The lady from my compnay who called me last friday called me this morning, about 10;50 to update me.
I asked questions that I was thinking about and I got some answers.
She told me that sometime either Thursday-friday or because of the pending snow storm we're supose to get, maybe early next week, they're going to have all the staff members come together to talk and have like a group counseling session so we can all voice our thoughts, frustrations and sadness.
my questions
how is my boss doing. I know she is not doing well, but how is she?
She is not doing well, She is feeling a lot of guilt and anger as well as other feelings. I didnt talk to her directly, but that is what I am told.
And the clients?
Well, they want to go home. It seems as they are doing better than a lot of the staff members. Or I should say, they apeare to be. Who knows how they are really feeling. (me...) they are doing better than I am doing.
And just one more question... do we know about a funaral or something?
The CEO has tried to contact the mother about that. We dont know if it is going to be a private funaral or not or if we would even be welcomed. The family is very angry at us and so I dont know what is going to happen with that but I will let you know when I find out.
I will be in touch with you the next few days. You have my number and email, right?
I have your email, yes, thank you for calling. I really appreciate it.

My friend Megan who worked with me and who has called me a few times over the week and was the second person I tried calling last week.
She called to see how I was doing and to let me know that she got an company wide email, (which I dont get since I only work part time) that said the funaral is on Friday at 11.
She also told me that another guy we we worked with at the day program, was the guy's primary counselor. I am feeling sick for him.
He must have so much guilt and "what ifs" ... We all do but he maybe more so.
Maybe I should reach out to him.
Megan said that she saw him a few days ago and he seemed like he was doing ok. I doubt he is though.
sigh *sad face*
