Death
One of the Teachers at the local high school died recently and it is taking quite a toll on our city. He was the Drama teacher and everybody loved him.
One of my friends also died a couple weeks ago and it is terrible that he died so young over a bad relationship.
This isn't the first time I've experienced it either. When I was A freshman, my orchestra teacher died, along with his son, in a car accident. That was a lot harder then I ever expected it to be. He was one of the best musicians I've ever known. The lady who "replaced" him was nothing like we were used to. She didn't seem to expect much out of us. I never did like her much.
What do you do when a death occurs?
I try my best to accept it, but sometimes others won't let me do that.

I try to accept it too but sometimes it doesn't occur in your brain. Just give it some time and you'll be ok. :] it's the best medicine.

Sorry. I'd say something more emotional or inspirational if I could think of it. Some times words cant express what you want them to.

As to your questoion. I really do not know. I am lucky as too known of my friends, or any other students, have died during the time I have been High School. There was 8 during the time my brother did High School.

One of the hardest, and strangest times I remember is in 6th grade. My favorite teacher passed away. The next teacher who took his place passed away as well. Then there was a 3rd who got very ill & had to leave. We had a difficult time dealing with that....at our young age, we wondered if we were a cursed class.
I have had 4 deaths in my family in the last 5 years, and 2 local girls we knew were murdered. Its always sad & a shock when dealing with death. It's something we all have to face.
Funerals are for the living...everyone can reach out for comfort in memoriam with each other. If you have a hard time, support groups help. But as someone said above, time is the best healer. May your grief soon turn into only the good memories you hold of this special teacher you cared about. Sincerely, ~Joanie~
