When Loral Krause's grandfather died, the last thing on her mind was dealing with her academic workload.
By Regina Bruntmeyer Special to the Kansan
No one plans the loss of a loved one, but death can have a particularly strong impact on students, counselors say.
Krause, an Overland Park graduate student, said her recent loss caused her to work at a slower pace.
Depending on the course requirements, the week of the semester and the professor, a student may
Krause said support from her professors had varied.
"Some were extremely understanding, and some weren't so understanding," Krause said. "It was nice when they said something to me."
Mike Shuttic, director of the Student Assistant Center, said the center could help students contact their instructors at a time of loss. Shuttic said students should notify their professors as soon as possible.
"If this is awkward or uncomfortable, students can call our office," Shuttic said.
Returning to an academic routine may be difficult, and a handful of students actually withdraw from classes every year. Shuttic said.
Krause left phone messages for her professors to let them know what had happened, but she said it would have been easier if they would have returned her calls.
be able to take an incomplete grade. Shuttc said.
"I was playing guessing games when I came back," Krause said.
Although Krause said she knew that some students might use a death to their advantage, she said she thought that her professors would realize she was not a lack-adaisical student. She had never lost anyone close to her, and coming back to school was difficult.
DeSalvo said the depression stage could last anywhere from one month to years, depending on the person's willingness to move on.
"Your mental state won't allow you to go as fast, but you are already so far behind," Krause said. "I knew my grandfather would have wanted me to finish what I started and work hard. That's what has gotten me through it."
"Acceptance is where you are able to appreciate the times you had with the person," DeSalvo said. "You choose visual images and memories to hang on to."
Frank DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services, said there was a grieving process that students needed to go through to go forward.
He said the bargaining stage only was relevant when the loved one had a chronic illness.
DeSalvo said the five-stage grieving process included denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Although not everyone requires counseling, he said that people who were depressed for two weeks or more should think about talking to someone. Signs of depression include loss of sleep, appetite and general functioning.
At first students may not believe that the person is actually gone, DeSalvo said. Then they may become angry and ask questions such as, "Why me?" and, "Why did
such a good person have to die?"
"In two weeks, you should be able to resume functioning, although you may not be bright and cheery." DeSalvo said.
"After one to two weeks, people want the person to return to their normal self, but it's not always time to do that." DeSalvo said.
Finding a friend who does not expect you to be happy and upbeat can help a grieving student feel less alone and get through the painful part of grieving.
Krause said it was best for professors and fellow students to send a card to let the person know they were available and thinking of them.
