Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

 

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

 

I’ll provide three questions you might get interested in. Please feel free to offer substantive senior level discussion on any of these. The idea is to share from experiences, readings, insights, your jobs… on these topics that are relevant in week 1.

 

  1. Often our first thought about death is about someone older, in a nursing home perhaps. I work in special ed. It seems every year we lose a student, as some have severe health issues. How might you work with adolescents or children who are not expected to live long? Or with their siblings? Or with their parents? What types of jobs would you have where these situations come up? Has anyone been in this situation? Do you have any advice for others?

  2. Would you deal differently with younger children (elementary) who have lost a loved one, than with adults? What would some differences be? How would talk with children? What types of jobs deal with children who have had losses – siblings, parents, friends? How about kids who lost military parents? Have any of you worked with kids on this? Any advice? And what if the child is adjusting to either the end of a long parental illness, or maybe the worst, a suicide?

  3. Did any of the readings stand out to you this week? Would you like to offer a paragraph or so summarizing a reading, and what it meant to you? If so please also give the reference.
