Dying and bereavement

	The subject of dying or death would have probably been mentioned before when classmates heard their classmate had cancer.

It is a good idea for classmates to get timely information about their ill classmate, with the consent from the parent(s) and ill child, so that they can deal with the declining health and prepare for their death.

More details on talking and dealing with the death of a child in the school community coming soon.
