I'm (22F), and my father just passed away a few days ago. I've been the one to handle the wake, the funeral, the flowers, the planning, etc.

I've been waiting for the emotions or the floodgates to hit, and it just hasn't. I've made poster boards, looked at countless pictures, watched old videos on my phone, listened to voicemails, etc...

Other people in my family have cried, screamed, and shown emotions that I just haven't yet. Is this normal? Why am I not feeling anything? I almost feel guilty that I don't feel the same emotions they do.

Mostly, I'm sad because my father will never be able to walk me down the aisle when I get married and he will never be able to meet my kids when I have them. He will never see me graduate college, etc...He was the last parent I had and now I just have parental guidance. I just feel lost and empty. I want to have the emotions the rest of my family does.

I don't know is this normal? Anyone else go through this?

Hi all! I'm 22F and I failed out of my ASN RN program due to outside life stressors (having to take care of my father as POA/Proxy and losing my job with no savings)..... I prioritized a roof over my head, finding a new job, as well as figuring everything out with my father rather than school, and well, by the title you can guess what happened.

In my state, we're not allowed to reapply to an RN program (ASN or BSN) for 5 years after failing out. I do not want to go into an LPN program. I always wanted to do med-school but could never afford it. I'm thinking maybe PA school could work as now I have a little inheritance money.

For my support system, I only have my boyfriend whom I live with. He's fully supportive of me going to PA school which I'm very thankful for...

I just feel like a failure for flunking out of the RN program right now and I'm trying to come up with ideas. How hard is PA school? Should I try to do a BS/MS dual program or just do my undergrad and then apply to PA school? Or should I just go for a surgical technician 1 year certificate degree? Any advice would be helpful !!!
