Abstract
This response to Jonathan Silin's article employs personal narrative to engage with learning and loss in early childhood education. For the author, in Jonathan Silin sharing his stories of loss, he also tells the author's stories of loss. For the author, these shared experiences are the 'very means by which we learn about loss; about grieving; about pain; about being social; about being human; about being relational. We learn how limited terms like 'resilience' are; we learn more about ourselves and we certainly learn more about the others in our lives.'
