Sending your child back to school after the death of a special person can be a challenging experience.
Remember, every child grieves in their own way. There is no “right” way to grieve and grief doesn’t follow a timeline.
Here are a few tips to help ease the transition.
Beginning this week, say the words.
Tell someone they brightened the room simply by walking into it, or that something they said inspired you.
Never hesitate to offer a genuine compliment, even to a stranger. You never know what someone may be carrying quietly, or how much those few words might mean. Say the kind thing.
And never fall into the trap of thinking the people you love already know how you feel.
Tell them.
Thank them.
Compliment them.
Appreciate them.
Say “I love you.”
Tell them the things you might think you’ll have more time to say later.
Because grief has a way of teaching us that later is never promised.
Beginning this week, let’s be a little braver with our words.
Don’t keep the good words to yourself.
Say it. Always say it.
Grief doesn’t stay at home.
Grieving students are in our classrooms. Let’s make sure we know how to show up for them.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this week for our Supporting Grieving Students Training! We’re grateful for the school staff, healthcare workers and so many others who are making space to learn, grow and better support grieving students.
A special thank you to Eastern Carver County Schools for partnering with us on this essential training!
Our next training is October 19.
Early Bird pricing ends soon!

The Grief Club of Minnesota is for families, young kids and teens who have lost a parent or loved one and are dealing with grief.
When I was 20, my dad passed away of a sudden heart attack. Dealing with grief is something I’m still dealing with. So that, combined with the fact that I’m so proud of my mom making it into a positive, and joining the Club, becoming a part of the board of directors, and working with the Club, is why I chose this cause.
