Grief & Loss

We know that going through the loss of a family member or friend can be very difficult. The counseling department offers a grief group at school to help students deal with their loss. Please see your school counselor for information.
Stages of grief:

  • Denial/ Shock - this isn't happening to me.
  • Anger - why is this happening?
  • Bargaining - I promise I'll be a better person if...
  • Depression - I don't care.
  • Acceptance - I'm ready to move forward.
