"Students who have suffered the loss of a loved one will benefit from this video..." School Library Journal

Maybe it's hearing about friends who get into a car wreck - no one survives. Or a fellow student - the one who wears a bandanna to hide what chemotherapy has done to her hair - one day fails to show up for homeroom. Or an announcement over the school's PA system: "There will be a memorial service this afternoon." For many young people, this will be their first exposure to death. How can teachers and school administrators help guide them through the experience? As the stories range from suicide, to sudden death, to terminal illness, viewers learn how to release their feelings. As healing and personal growth continue, an amazingly positive spirit, in most cases, actually overshadows the sadness.
