    My uncle died today after taking ill on sunday. It was quite sudden and shocking for us all.

    He is also the Co-ordinator in the centre where I teach. I have to let the students know in the morning that he passed away.

    They will be quite shocked as they are all aged 15-18. All I could say to them today was that he was unwell in hospital. Even though I knew he only had a couple hours to live. We didn't want to tell them until tommorrow.

    Anybody got any advice on how I should approach this. Alot of these students come from difficult background and I am not sure how they would handle this.

    My plan is to bring them all into the one room and tell them. I am just not sure as yet how I will do this.

    Thanks

    Beyond making yourself available if they need to talk, and giving it to them straight I don't think there's much you can do man.

    Sorry about your uncle.
