03.01.2022 *Trigger Warning* This post contains content about the topic of suicide. We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of a Victorian medical student, who was a beloved colleague and friend to many. ... Our deepest sympathies are with those who have been affected, in particular, their family, friends and colleagues who will be experiencing a time of great difficulty and grief. As a community, we grieve the loss of one of our own. The death of a student will affect everyone differently; everybody’s emotions and reactions will differ, and the depth of grief will not always be immediate. In this time of loss and grief, it is important to take a break, stay connected and reach out for support. Look after yourselves, check in with your colleagues, spend time with your friends, family and loved ones. Please do not hesitate to reach out directly if you need someone to listen.
