description: Death is said to be Western society's last taboo. Teachers often shy away from discussing death within their classrooms, and few schools integrate teaching about death into the curriculum. Yet schools have a significant contribution to make to a pupil's successful adjustment to loss.Illuminated by fascinating transcriptions of interviews with children of different ages, which reveal their perceptions of death and reactions to loss, this book will reassure teachers that, just as there is no 'right way' to grieve, every individual will express grief differently.
