Found out today that my daughters teacher from last year (kindergarten), who my daughter was still close to, died last night. My daughter loved her. She kept in touch with her over the summer and since school started, says she has given her a hug everyday before she got on the bus. The kids didn't have school today, so I told my daughter what happened. She really took it better than I thought she would. I didn't have much information to give her though. The teacher was such a nice lady and really seemed to enjoy her job and the kids. She had just gotten married over the summer. It's just so sad to me. It will be a huge loss to our school.

I'm sorry. [It sounds like it was unexpected, which I feel might make it harder]

I'm glad your daughter isn't taking it as badly as you feared, but maybe you two can do something special together to remember her old teacher by? Paint a picture of them together, write a poem or a letter or make a story book or something?

Just an idea. That way she will have something special she can look at if she feels like she misses her.

I don't know if that might make things worse but I feel like celebrating people is always good.

I'm sorry for the loss, it sounds like she was a nice person, to mean so much to your daughter.

I'm so sorry. It sounds like your daughter had a wonderful teacher.

That's very sad. I'm glad you told your daughter. Kids can handle death better than a lot of adults.
