10 Tips on Talking to a Child After a Tragedy


​Tragic events such as the recent mass shooting at a Florida high school are difficult for anyone to comprehend and process. Locally and across the country, we collectively mourn the loss of life every time such a senseless tragedy occurs. In addition, children’s own sorrow, fear and despair can be heightened as they watch and hear about the plight of grieving students, teachers and the affected community in school, on social media and the nightly news. As parents, it is important that we reassure our children that though we hear about these tragedies, we, their school and other adults in their world are always working to ensure their safety.

Book Review


The year my brother died, I forgot how to breathe, and no one seemed to notice. After all, it was only my brother; I should get over it.” When T.J. Wray lost her 43-year-old brother, she realized that the death of a sibling is not often acknowledged and that there is little information available to help cope with the loss of an adult sibling. That is what prompted Wray, a Professor of Religious and Theological Studies at Salve Regina University in Rhode Island, to write about her experience with losing her adult brother. Her own research confirmed that sibling loss has been ignored and is often considered insignificant in the eyes of others.
