MS1 Seeking Advice After Loss. Financial & Family Guidance Needed Please!
I unfortunately lost my wife due to a brain aneurysm, which she passed away a couple days ago.
Right now, I am so lucky that I have medical school classmates who go out of their way to help me.
They cook me meals and babysit my kids sometimes, but I don't want to force my problems on them.
Please don’t feel bad about reaching out to friends/classmates during times of need, especially now.
