I’m not even a fan of the grief counseling they put kids through these days. It makes the traumatic event the central event in their lives.

Kids are amazingly resilient after a traumatic event and the best thing to do is make the kids feel safe in the home while letting them work through things.

i agree. a parents can watch their children and ease them through the grief and fear better than a stranger in most cases.

It is a terrible and stupid thing. just like the (pagan) candle/ teddy bear shrine garbage. “making a difference” is the idiot mantra of this shallow religion.

We had a boy commit suicide in the high school where I was teaching at the time. Our principal, who was a total lib, brought in a team of “grief counselors”. I know that the principal and this group meant well, but it was sickening to see them operate.

It was as if they wanted everyone to wallow in the tragedy. I had one try to corner me, even after I had explained that I did not even know the boy.

The teenaged girls really fed into the whole drama, and I really worried about a copycat incident. Fortunately, that did not come to pass.
