The 5 suggested stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining for time, depression, and acceptance. Some do experience all of these while others do not. Students need support during these times in a safe and supportive environment. When and where it is appropriate, please contact your son or daughter’s counselor if there is a death of a loved one near to them. Notifying the school counselor will provide opportunities for the counselor to reach out and communicate with students, families and staff. Most students need support also while in school during these emotional times.
