It is a sad time in our community. A house fire took the young lives of  3 Port Jervis students last week. And although, we didn’t know the family personally, we are mourning the pain and lose that they are going though. Our family spoke about the incident during dinner and it sparked into a deeper discussion. We have previously taught the children all of the fire prevention rules and what to do during the horrifying discovery of a house fire. But this discussion went into mourning the loss of loved ones. The children (now ages 12,10,8,and 4) are now of the age where they can express their feelings on death and loss. It was a tender discussion and we emphasized our spiritual beliefs to offer peace and understanding to the children. It’s a difficult discussion but necessary for every family to have. God Bless our community who is struggling to have peace through this tragedy.
