Outside the family, school is the environment for children and youths between the ages of 5 to 16 years and the work place for many adults. As in all aspects of life, death or tragic events may occur at school. In such a situation, what should one do? What should one say to the students? Every one feels a sense of loss or disquiet and that something should be done yet no one knows exactly what to do. How should we bridge this subject to children and adolescents? Is this an appropriate discourse for the classroom or should it be done outside the classroom? Should one organize a ritual at school to help with the process of mourning? Will the children suffer unnecessarily if death is discussed? These questions are important and deserve some reflections.
