Healthcare workers how do you cope with death?

I am half way into my classes and it hit me hard. One of my instructors before they became an instructor, was working in a clinic and she was barely 19 (she was a MA to scrape up money for medical school.) She was in her first month of working and a couple brought in a 3 month old who was bruised and beaten. The baby had broken ribs arms legs, concussion, ruptured appendix, etc. She was preforming CPR on this poor baby and gave it her all. But the baby passed away in her arms. It hit me like a ton of bricks. What if I were to encounter this? I don’t know if I can do it.
