Black Dragon,

I'm so sorry to hear about your teacher, friend and mentor. It sounds like she has given you a legacy of love, understanding and strength.

What helped me when I lost my older brother, who was my role model, was to try to become more like him. However, we all find our own ways to cope when we lose someone special.

Please keep us posted, so we can be there for you at this difficult time.
