Catholic Life & Reflection
For many of us this week has been extraordinarily challenging. Having worked for many years in the Catholic school system, the loss of Anthony has been felt by a number of communities. As a staff we have been reflecting on John 3:16 this week. It has brought some comfort at a challenging time.
As a way of helping our students process their grief we have asked them if they would like to write a letter or draw a picture about Mr Ganley. I hope their funny stories and heartfelt drawings will bring a smile to their faces. It seems Mr Ganley dressed as a neon pink crayon for book week was a favourite.
There is an odd feeling when someone passes away that there is really very little one can do to make it better. It is important to just be present to those who feel the loss. Being present to ourselves and our own grief can be overwhelming. So let's be present to God as God shows us a way through this difficult time.
Go gently.
Mr Ganley by Faith and Jacob
