Dear Mr. and Mrs. [Last Name],
I am writing to offer my sincere condolences to you and your family following the recent events involving your daughter, Lizbeth. As Lizbeth's school counselor, I have been working closely with her over the past few months and I wanted to share my thoughts with you about what may have motivated her actions.
Based on my conversations with Lizbeth, it appears that she has been struggling with feelings of isolation and loneliness. She has also expressed a great deal of pressure to succeed academically and socially, which has been causing her a great deal of stress and anxiety. These feelings can be overwhelming for anyone, but they can be particularly difficult for teenagers who are still learning to navigate the challenges of growing up.
As her parents, I know that you want to do everything you can to help Lizbeth move forward from this difficult time. There are several things that you can do to support her during this process. First and foremost, it is important to listen to her and validate her feelings. Let her know that you are there for her and that you love her unconditionally. Encourage her to talk about her emotions and provide a safe space for her to do so.
It may also be helpful to seek out professional help. A therapist or counselor can work with Lizbeth to develop coping strategies and to identify the root causes of her feelings of isolation and stress. Additionally, your family doctor may be able to recommend a psychiatrist or other mental health professional who can provide support and guidance.
Finally, it is important to encourage Lizbeth to take care of herself physically and emotionally. This can include things like getting enough sleep, eating well, and engaging in activities that she enjoys. It is also important to remind her that she is not alone and that there are people who care about her and want to see her succeed.
Please know that I am here to support you and your family during this difficult time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
School Counselor
