Grieving and Moving Towards Closure

Our blog post on Dealing With Grief was shared out by Catriona and Heidi so hopefully many of our community members were able to pause and read the provided article. As we look towards the end of the school year, it is important for us to take time to process the feelings of loss that have occurred with the switch from regular to virtual school. Our community members have been through a great deal of change and loss around school and the societal changes of business closures and lockdown.

To further your knowledge about grieving and understanding the effects of change, here are some helpful resources. The more we can process and grieve the better we will be in a position to bring closure to our school year.
