[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 247103, member: 1436"] Oh Star. I remember a few years ago one of my favorite students died the day after school let out for summer. He was a delightful young man. All the kids called me---I went to his grandmother's house---she raised him---and just "took" care of all the kids. She was too busy grieving to deal with a houseful of grieving teenagers as well. I didn't say much except that I loved him too. The next year, on the anniversary of his death, she sent me flowers. I don't think I've ever cried like that in my life---even when I lost my grandparents and biodad. Knowing that she thought of me on that day---well, it touched my soul. I think just being there for her is the best thing you can do. [/QUOTE]
