My supervisor was gone most of the week. Last weekend her grandfather died of prostatic/colon cancer. She came back today, and I went up to talk to her about what happened; and also to offer condolences. I'm not much in the way of encouragement, but I can somewhat relate. We talked about ten minutes, and she mentioned that when he went that he had a smile on his face. I commented "Yeah, he probably thought 'ah, it's over.''" She smiled, and agreed.
it was a good conversation.
It's also good that I can say something to somebody about this without explanation. I'm given quite a lot of leniency, and grace at work. However, I am careful that I don't abuse it. That's there for the really bad days, and on those days I just stay home while I make plans to go see a priest.
On that note, I am thankful for this job, and for the understanding from my employers, friends, and family.
