Adolescents are not supposed to experience death.

Although it should never happen, the harsh reality is that it does, and when it does, it is a terrible shock for the adolescent.

Understanding and Addressing Adolescent Grief Issues will help you, as the caring adult, be a guide through this troubling time by helping you understand what the adolescent is going through and giving you comprehensive techniques to address the situation. This is a time when a caring, unassuming adult can make a positive difference in a young person by fostering growth and maturity.
