This is the kind of thing I would only post here. Near the end of the school day the principal's secretary came into our classroom and called my coworker out of the room and told her to bring her things. A few minutes later, the secretary returned asking if any of us would volunteer to give her a ride because they didn't want her driving.
Yikes!

I volunteered since this particular person and I have worked together closely (our two 5th grade charges have been in the same homeroom since kindergarten and we follow them through their day) for 4 years.

It was only when I got out into the hall that I found out the reason.

Her brother had died.

Oh no.

Oh my god. I ache for her. And for you. And I'm sure that your presence was a comfort that I wish neither of you had the experience to share.

You did a good thing driving her home.

How awful. It's good that you could be there for her.

You're good people, Jim. I'm glad you were there for your co-worker.

I'm glad you were there for her.

Oh Jim. I'm so sorry for your colleague's loss and glad you were able to be there for her in that moment. Hugs to you both.
