T/F I am experiencing some form of grief.

2,448,017 U.S. deaths annually (NVSR, 2005). Deaths on U.S. campuses annually range from5,000 to 18,750 (Wrenn, 1999).

25%-30% of college students are within the first

12 months of the death of a family member orfriend (Balk, 1997); 35%-48% are within the first24 months.

T/F Returning to work, the bereaved personrelates, Im fine. The best we can do

(for the griever) is to avoid discussing theloss or not bring up the name of theperson who died.

Society encourages people to prematurelymove away from their grief instead of towardit, and refrain from talking about it.

Where to go on campus for support and information when adeath occurs.

Students may feel alienated and that no one understands their

situation as they adjust to a college environment that seemsunchanged by their grief experience.

They need to know how to respond to people who ignore theirgrief, or who tell them they need to get on with life, and that itis not good for them to continue to grieve.

Students want to know that they are dealing with a deathnormally.

They need to know how to address faculty members whomaybe be skeptical in allowing grieving students extra time tomake up late work, a missed exam, or to complete an

incomplete class.

sharp, and the ruts not so deep.
