<p>Wow. Both our daughters were in college when their father died. He had been very sick so it wasnt unexpected. What struggle they had! It would have been wonderful to have this support group of peers to lean upon. As it was one of their colleges had good support system to assist, the other, none that we could find. </p>

<p>I ended up going back and forth to thier campuses on a nearly weekly basis, till we could all stand on our own. I still shudder to think about that period. But they did survive, moved forward and graduated with their class.</p>

<p>Sadly, there isn’t a branch at my university.</p>

<p>It’s a shame, because this is exactly what I am looking for.</p>
