Read: "Too often we may ignore the needs of special education students to talk about the loss of a loved one or a friend. When grandma or grandpa die, why pretend nothing happened? If you can talk to your child lovingly and in a way that they can understand, and perhaps do an activity together that can help them process some of the really feelings, you will help them build resilience to deal with other losses." -- Jerry Webster, About.com Guide to Special Education, in the blog post Good Grief
