Grief
Recently, I experienced a catastrophic loss. Like so many in the world who experience loss in their life it hit me like a bullet train. It is a pain I still feel even months later. As I have grown older I have learned many ways to process, feel, and work through grief. When I first got news of my student's passing my first thought was for my students, only nine and ten years old. I knew the death would be extraordinarily shocking and devastating to them.
