Letter to my child’s teacher…

The early grief template helps teachers to understand the immediate and emotional impact profound loss has had on your child. It offers simple guidance on how to support them in the classroom.Early grief could last even the first few years.

This template acknowledges that the child is still processing their grief, even as time has passed. Emotional development and understanding changes as a child grows, and there can be hard moments. It encourages the ongoing sensitivity and offers simple guidance as a child’s grief is still present.

This version of the template is brief, yet meaningful. This is for parents who may want to quietly inform teachers without going into any details. It gently signals the possible need for compassion and flexibility.
