Death / Bereavement

Dealing with personal loss can be very difficult and challenging.  The loss of someone valued and loved (even pets) often leads to strong feelings that need to be addressed.  Not everyone grieves in the same manner, so let go of your own expectations and listen to your child.  Stick with the facts and answer questions simply and honestly. Say, "I don't know " if you need to and be careful to only answer what the question is asking.  Speak with your school's counselor for additional suggestions.
