I appreciate you taking the time and sharing how you deal with this for your students. We have several families at school that lost their fathers right before school started this year. Talk about a tremendous load for those kids. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.</p>Cheryl LykowskiFri, 22 Sep 2006 06:02:00 -0000http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2006/09/helping-those-who-grieve.html#comment-17912105<p>This is a wonderful post which I am sure I will refer to often in the future. Thanks for writing it.</p>JudeThu, 21 Sep 2006 22:52:00 -0000http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2006/09/helping-those-who-grieve.html#comment-17912106<p>As difficult as the transition is, aren't you glad to have known your father-in-law? We are blessed by our elders in so many uncounted ways.<br>Sympathies to you and your family.<br><br>My father-in-law was a little crotchety at the end but he was always kind to me and our children.</p>Diane PThu, 21 Sep 2006 20:29:00 -0000
