Loss and Bereavement
By Jessica Klein, School Psychologist, and
Renee Tanner, District Social Worker
We have all experienced the loss of a loved one in our lives and we grieve both collectively and separately. When explaining death to our children, it is important for them to express their feelings and feel connected to others. According to the National Association of School Psychologist’s article titled “Helping Children Cope with Loss, Death, and Grief: Tips for Teachers and Parents”, below are some suggestions for assisting children and adults in coping with grief.
