Grieving and not sure what to do

(Anonymous) 2013-08-09 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Someone who was quite an inspiration to me died last night. I found out today. Problem is, rather than being a friend or family, they were my uni professor. Through several years of depression, it helped massively to have someone believe in me, and we used to end up having a lot of rambling conversations about politics/fandom/thinking the government were a bunch of twats. He reminded me quite a lot of my father. I hope I end up somewhat like him, in forty years or so.

I can't really speak to friends or family. They didn't know him, and I'm not sure how well I did, tbh. I know a few other students will be upset, but not in the same way - there was a professional and an age disconnect for most people. I hadn't even known he was ill (or at least, not terminally).

I know I probably seem weird for shedding tears for someone who I didn't even know outside of academic life and didn't have much in common with - pretty sure the people I know would feel that way too, and I don't really have anyone to turn to. I suddenly feel very alone in the world. Any advice or stories would help me a lot, f!s.
