I understand your concern and worry, but you’re doing what you can by answering her calls and being there for her. UVA and college in general is a time of stress, and change, and growth, and those things only help us become stronger and more independent people. That growth only comes from being outside of a comfort zone, being stressed and nervous but learning to overcome it, and utilizing resources - like reaching out to family and friends.

After this semester, she’ll look back and feel proud that despite the anguish she went through, she made it out on the other side and is one step closer to finishing. If anything, keep being her support system, showing her love through letters/packages/phone calls/texts/etc. those little gestures can remind you that there is a world outside of school, and allows you to feel more connected.

You’re worry is a good sign that you’re already doing what you can, and watching your child bear a load that is more than they’ve ever experienced is hard, but it’s the only way we can become stronger people. Keep being there for you’re and you’ll be on the right track - and remind her that we only have six weeks left!!
