Dealing With Grief

Sooner or later, everyone has to deal with grief.  Loss is an inevitable part of life.  It’s nothing we look forward to being expert in handling, but there are those who have recommendations on how we can better deal with it ourselves.

When we are in positions of leadership, like being a teacher, counselor, or administrator, we have the double burden of dealing with our own grief while we try to help others deal with theirs.  Role-modeling responsible ways to deal with grief is part of our job. 

It is our hope that this training module will be of help to you and those you care about.
