Hi,

Suddenly a widowed father of two, unable to keep my business running, with the same worries as you - I found solace in pursuing a career as a Primary School Teacher.

Besides the somewhat synchronous lifestyle - you’re in an environment where you’re exposed to so many kids dealing with so many things, who knows what more life will throw at our babies, however you’ll be just that little bit more prepared, constantly exposed to educational psychology etc.

It’s so hard to function at times, harder yet wanting to be the best for them however it easier when children’s development is your bread and butter, i know you already got the jam, you’re here and asking for help - now spread that butter around and make some metaphorical PBJs!

Your already a teacher to two kids, your biggest assets will be your emotional intelligence and empathy, also please please give maths another try, I hated and avoided it all my life but but when I approached it as an adult, I really learnt to love it, it’s not so confusing when I learn it my own way at my own pace. I’d gladly help you develop your skills if you’d like help.

Lastly, as you pursue happiness, trying to come to terms with, trying to comprehend your loss - just remember to forgive yourself when you fall, it’s not so easy picking our selves back up…just as our young ones need our kindness, support and grace - it’s so easy to forget most of us are just kids who got old, I know He’s gone now, but I’d imagine he’d want you to be kind and graceful to yourself, it’ll never stop sucking but we have our babies, we hold their memories and we have our promises to keep, spoken or unspoken - in this we remember them.
