Unfortunately, the death of a student or recent graduate is a sad truth in schools. There are
no magic bullets and no formula for how to deal with such tragedy. All schools
try and provide counseling when students need it, and there are certain
standard procedures recommended by experts, but each case is unique.
Students are very resilient and many times handle tragedy
better than we expect. The outpouring of compassion from the community is
overwhelming in times such as these. Schools receive many different of types of
help from the community and it is wonderful to see how people work together to
try and comfort those affected most by such tragedy. Memorials, plaques, or
flowers will not bring back students but working together school communities
can possibly provide some degree of comfort to family and friends.
