Friends may like to make a card to send to the family to let them know that they are thinking about them. The school may put together a special book with a collection of memories or messages in, a copy of which can be given to the family.
A memorial could be created in school which embodies the person in some way for example a bench in a favourite spot, a piece of art work to mark their artistic talent, a concert to remember their musical or theatrical abilities or a trophy presented in their name for their love of sport. The family may like to be involved or at least be invited to attend the presentation.
Clearing away the person's desk or tray can be difficult to get right for everyone. It may be helpful to talk with those closest to the person to decide when and how this should be done. |

Children we help
Beth aged 14 years came to a group programme after her dad had died suddenly and unexpectedly. She was having difficulty concentrating at school and felt that it was hard for others to understand how she was feeling. Her relationship with her dad hadn't always been easy and she was struggling with her guilt. At the group she met other young people who had experienced the death of someone significant to them. They shared their coping strategies with Beth. She began to realise that others had a similar mix of feelings as well as good and not so good memories. She felt less alone in her grief and found a new supportive network of friends.
