are all good picture books for younger children on grief. It gives a good starting point to begin the conversation and help guide a student through their grief. Linda Hagler's book is actually a set that covers multiple topics and includes ideas and tips on
working with students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">This summer I had a student lose a younger sibling in a farming accident. I presented him and the family with the book "The Memory Box; A Book about Grief" and an empty box to place
things in that were important. I put in a few things that represented the student that passed (frog stickers, batman stickers, etc. ). I also have a counseling agency that comes to the school for weekly sessions. Prayers for you and the family, because this
is one of the most difficult things as a school counselor I've had to deal with.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has suggestions of books or activities to do with students dealing with the loss of a parent, I could sure use the ideas. Two sisters (one in 6<sup>th</sup> grade and one in 2<sup>nd
</sup>grade) just lost their dad in a car accident over the weekend. I would appreciate any advice or ideas as I am a new SC and this is my first experience as a SC dealing with this directly. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
