I had one student who was diagnosed with a terminal disease while in our school. It broke my heart.
We had a girl who was in our school for 3 years go missing. A couple of month later they found her body and she was murdered. (she was not in my class as I taught preschool at the time)
The most current one is a student who was vibrant and full of life and on my son's sports teams. He suffered a TBI and now is non verbal and sits in a chair. I've watched him look at pictures of his old life and you can tell it makes him sad or at least affects him.
It is hard when life isn't fair to a child.

That's absolutely tragic. Sending prayers and positive thoughts to all who knew and loved him.

Oh, your poor DD. It's so hard when there simply is no way to console someone. Hugs to you both.

Oh, that is heartbreaking. His poor family. I had a classmate who died of an aneurysm when I was in middle school--it is such a shocking thing. Again, big hugs to your DD.

After reading your update, I'm sad for your daughter. That image of him walking away shaking his head would haunt me for quite a while. Sorry for your kid. And sorry for the little boy. Bad deal all the way around.

How unbelievably sad. I love that your DD is so empathetic. So hard on her, but so wonderful that she feels so much for her kids. She'll be a great teacher!

How unbelievably sad. I love that your DD is so empathetic. So hard on her, but so wonderful that she feels so much for her kids. She'll be a great teacher! I agree. I have a DD who sounds very much like yours (wants to be teacher, works in church nursery and LOVES kids) -- I can only imagine the sort of heartbreak she would feel in a similar situation. Sending your daughter a hug. Prayers for that family who is dealing with such heartache. And hugs to you for being such a kind momma. |

Oh no! I'm so sorry for your daughter.
This makes me nervous. I know and love a ton of the 8-9 year olds in that program. Did he go to Vickery?

Very sad update Jenny. I hope your daughter does talk to the counsellor, she shouldn't feel any guilt over her last interaction with the boy.
(((Hugs))) to your DD and the family of the little boy.

I pray that she can find closure, and realize that he liked her, just like all the kids liked her, and that his last interaction with him (him not getting his way, shaking his head) is not an indication of how he felt about her as a whole.

I actually texted her boss earlier tonight. You see, DD's boss has known my DD since she was in 3rd grade. So she knows our family and knows my DD very well. I told boss that I was aware that a grief counselor was coming in...and told her that DD didn't plan on talking to the grief counselor. Boss told me that it was "mandatory" for all employees. (the grief counselor will talk to the kids in the program and then the adult employees in 2 different groups) She thanked me for telling her how DD was feeling...so at least I know that someone else (other than me) will be talking to DD about her last interaction with him.
Helicopter...perhaps. But I'm okay with that for this.
They take the kids on field trips every week. (split them up on two different days...the older kids and the younger kids) They take pics of kids on field trips and put them on a bulletin board. DD took her phone and took a picture of two pictures with the boy in it. She wanted to show me who he was. Somehow, I think she's going to keep that picture in her phone.
