Israel : School, family struggle to cope after girl, 6, dies of swine flu

Via Haaretz :

" Psychologists dispatched to help students deal with loss

"I just can't understand how it happened," said Ludmila, the grandmother of a 6-year-old girl from Rishon Letzion who died on Monday of swine flu. "It all happened so fast. She was only in first grade but already knew a lot," the grandmother added, referring to the girl's knowledge about slain Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

No one in the family believed that the fever the first-grader caught would end with her death.

As late as Friday, her father asked the school to send him the homework his daughter had missed during the two days she was absent. The girl was the top student in her class."
