Grief in the Classrooom
Classroom Resources
Lumara’s Grief in the Classroom is an essential resource designed to assist anyone supporting grieving children & youth in recognizing and addressing grief within educational settings.
Conversations, stories, and art are all tools we use at Lumara to support children in making sense of their loss experiences. We’re sharing some examples of those approaches here with the hope you find them helpful as you support bereaved children.
Given that a child’s understanding of loss is tied to their developmental stage, for each of the book and activity suggestions below we have identified an age/stage we believe is most applicable.
