I echo Antoinette’s sentiments. Seeing the poster of all the feelings of grief feels like something we could all use, child and adult alike, when dealing with a loss. I know Terri is smiling seeing you guide her students through this time with books and words and space to feel their feelings. Thinking of you, her family and her school family as well. Sending a big hug.
Yes, we talked about all our reactions and different ways our emotions manifest in our lives. That we can feel these things now, next week, five years from now, any time and in any order. One small wave or familiar song can trigger it, so it's important to recognize the feelings in ourselves and in others to offer support.
Your courage and grace in facing all those challenges has blessed each child you have encountered over the years. Thank you for your care and faithfulness to them!
Thinking back, it's so hard to hold it all together in the moment. There has always been a huge release of tension and emotion after each of those instances.
Susan, Your students are very fortunate, to have you in their lives. You are above and beyond an incredible teacher 💜
Thank you, Antoinette!
