When a student experiences the death of a loved one, educators and school leaders want to help but they may hesitate, fearing they will say or do the wrong thing. Our advice? Simple, supportive language, paired with active listening, can significantly reduce a student's sense of isolation.

When a loved one is grieving, it's normal to be scared to say the wrong thing. There's no perfect thing to say, but the best way to be a grief ally is to be there for them no matter what.

As we start to head into the holiday season, it’s very normal for grieving families to feel anxiety or other anticipatory emotions about getting through the holidays without their person.

In this month’s Grief in Brief, Peggy, Katie, and Charlie share ways to plan ahead as a family, from changing or skipping traditions to asking a loved one to be your supportive person at an event. Listen here: https://bit.ly/4dBPnz7

After the death of a baby, it can be difficult to know how to support the baby's siblings, especially when you're navigating your own grief.

Books are a great tool for helping them process their big feelings, provide comfort, and understand that love and memory continue after death.

Here, you'll find a list of children's books to help you and your family work through your grief journey together and honor the sibling/child: https://bit.ly/4e3Ff26
