Site Map Crisis, Traumatic Event, Death, Grief and Bereavement Crisis The death of a school community member can be a crisis event. A crisis is defined as a state of emotional turmoil. Emotional crises have four characteristics: They are sudden. The "normal" method of coping with stress failed. Are short in duration. Most crises last from twenty-four to thirty-six hours and rarely for longer than six weeks. Have potential to produce dangerous, self-destructive, or socially unacceptable behavior. Traumatic Event A death of a school community member is a traumatic event if the impact on the students and staff is sufficient enough to overwhelm the usual effective coping skills. Traumatic events are typically sudden, powerful events which are outside the range of ordinary human experiences. Because of the suddenness of the event, even well-trained, experienced people can experience a sense of strong emotions. Determining The Degree Of Trauma Following A Death Three variables are generally considered: Who - The number of people the person who has died knew and his/her length of time at the school.

Yes, Father, thank You for the Holy Spirit of love, not the spirit of fear and hate and discouragement that causes death. O my God, take away this agony! I've loved and trusted you – and now this! In desperation I switched on the electronic desert to get lost in the crowd of nothing, to wipe out the terrible no-sense of what had so recently happened in those dark woods. "But look at what that brand you bought did to our glasses! See the ones I washed yesterday, they're shiny and bright. That brand you used left spots – and there's company at the door!" In my anger and grief, I cursed their banal worries and inane expressions. The world is full of so much sorrow, and their world was ending because of dirty glasses! In some future, more rational time I could probably accept these idiocies, but now, in the midst of shattered hopes and memories I resented this exchange of the least for the very least. I loved my son dearly but, like the average parent, I waited too long to convince him beyond his doubts about the world and its confusing values. Thank God I told him with tears not long before he died! He had come home for Thanksgiving deeply depressed. His first day home we had a long talk.

GAMES Childhood Grief childhood grief by Claire Laurent Coping with the death of someone close to us is hard enough when we are adults but when it affects children too it can be hard for us to know what to say or how to support them. Winston's Wish is a charity that supports bereaved children and young people. Founder and chief executive Julie Stokes, who is a consultant psychologist, says: 'The primary influence on the child's adaptation to the fact that someone significant has died is how secure they feel with whoever is left to look after them.' The other important influence is what else in their life changes. Often the death of a parent may lead to further losses. 'For instance, it might be they move house as a result of a death. That means the child has to start a new school and they lose the familiarity of their bedroom and their peer group,' says Julie. helping yourself If you are a parent or carer who is grieving the death of someone close to you and your children, you are likely to feel a whole range of intense emotions. You may feel shocked, sad, angry, guilty, anxious, relieved and lonely. Coping with all of these feelings, which are often all jumbled up together, can be exhausting. On top of this you know that how you are affects your children and you want to do what's best for them at a time when you are finding it a great strain to look after yourself. It is important that you make time for yourself, to think about what's happened and to recharge your energy or you will not have the strength to support children too. Enlist friends and relatives to support you and the children.

Volume 3, No. 1-Spring/Summer '98 Helping the grieving child in school By Linda Goldman, Certified Grief Therapist and Grief Educator Center for Loss and Grief Therapy Educators and students can exist in a more healthy living and learning environment by acknowledging the special needs of the grieving child. Foremost is the complex relationship between loss issues and a child's ability to function in and out of the classroom. The needs of the grieving child must be addressed in a new and fresh way within our school systems to create a safe haven for learning for our young people. Grief in the 'nineties Children's grief should be seen as an ongoing life process that is approachable through words, activities and non-verbal communication. Educators can use this understanding to create a safe environment for parents, teachers and children to acknowledge and process difficult feelings. So often adults rely on the prevailing myth that children are too young too grieve. When a child is capable of loving, he is capable of grieving. Yet many of today's children are born into a world of grief issues that await them inside their homes and outside their neighborhoods. Boys and girls are becoming increasingly traumatized by these prevailing social and societal loss issues in their homes, in their schools and in their communities. A major percentage of America's children face the loss of the protection of the adult world, as grief issues of homicide violence and abuse infiltrate their outer and inner worlds. Issues involving shame and secretiveness when death is caused by such occurrences as suicide and the contraction of AIDS create a grieving child that is locked into the pain of isolation - which can be far more damaging than the original loss.

Email page Schools are an important part of children's lives, they act like a second family providing security and routine when everything else changes. After discussion with the family and with the child's permission and knowledge, the rest of the class should be told as soon as possible about their classmate's bereavement. It is a good idea to let the parents of their classmates know what has happened as they may well have to answer their own children's questions about death. The class teacher needs to talk to the child's special friends and discuss ways in which they could be supportive, modelling how to behave in this situation. This may help to break the ice and enable them to talk to their friend, rather than being worried and feeling awkward in such a difficult situation. When the child returns to school their loss needs to be acknowledged and then everything needs to be kept as normal as possible with no special privileges shown. School may be the one place that children can escape the grief surrounding them. However the child needs to be given the opportunity to talk to a sympathetic adult or have a quiet time should the need arise. The class teacher needs to keep in regular contact with the bereaved child's parents, informing them of how their child is managing at school. It is normal for changes in the child's behaviour to occur, however some may need special attention:

After all the attempts to comfort, the suggestions shared out of love and helplessness, each mourner says his own good-byes, feels his own feelings, and moves uneasily and unevenly toward healing.

Contact Information Service Learning Counseling College Information ... Student Info Grief Resources for Teachers Dealing with death is not easy. It is probably something that you would not have pictured yourself and your classes having to face as often as we have to in today's world. When death comes to someone close, surviving students suffer severe shock and will react in different ways. Grieving students will probably show a loss of self-esteem and identity. Their world has been drastically and permanently altered. You may not think that you are the right person to deal with the subject, but you are the one your students need and want. There may be nobody else but you. They will need your support and help as they re-establish themselves at home and in the classroom. Remember, the teacher is one of the most important adults assisting in the grieving process. Be assured that if you listen and respond with words or a gentle smile to the feelings expressed by your grieving student(s), you will be doing exactly what is most needed. When a student approaches you, he/she trusts you to be there for him/her. Trust yourself enough to respond. Don't try to prevent the students from grieving. Grief is a normal and necessary process which should not be blocked. Each individual has his/her own way of grieving and this should be respected. Don't have set expectations or a time limit on a person's grieving process.
