I want to thank Julia for sharing this. I forwarded it to our school
nurse, and then while on lunch today, reading our local weekly paper
( we had to go back for one day of spring break, to make up a snow
day!)... I was reading an article about this very program ( thinking ,
hmm, I've heard about this before!) , and it features one of our own
families, as the three families profiled in the program. ! The " When
Families Grieve" features families who have lost a parent, one as a
first responder, as a soldier, and to illness ( our local family).
