What a day....
Today was finally the funeral for the 19yr old client from my project who died suddenly from heart failure. It has been approx 4 weeks since he passed and his autopsy took a very very long time!!!!
The other residents and staff have felt like things have been on hold...and today...well today made the world start slowly moving again.
The funeral was hard....it was very emotional...and staff and clients cried and cried.
There were 2 key moments for me...
1 - One of his friends composed a song for him and sang it whilst playing his guitar. It made me see how he will me missed and made me feel such sadness for these youngsters and his family who have to bury him.
2 - Was when his body was laid to rest and i think it was finally real for his mother who broke down.
I feel like today...starts the hard work....to get his friends and also my clients to begin putting their lives first...to stop drinking themselves into oblivion!!!
Plus i have offered my support to the young lad who sang to try and get the song he wrote on CD format...this was something that he and the deceased had discussed doing and i think it may be a nice thing for him.
However...
Today ended on a positive note!
In te post for me was a confirmation of an interview for the job that i REALLY want!!
I have a presentation that i have to plan and deliver and then a formal interview....its not going to be easy but these things never are!!!!
So now i have a week of working flat out to get it done!!!
Keep your fingers crossed for me!!
