Answer:
I don't know if you believe in religion but I am a christian, and I go to God. If not, you may take comfort in loved ones. My sister passed a while ago in a car accident, and I was in it. I broke my back, collar bone, and neck. I was only 6 years old! So, I understand hard times, and maybe you should write just how much your family and that teacher means to you.
