Losing a parent at any time in one’s life is difficult, but losing a parent as a teenager brings its own distinct challenges. Coping with Parental Death: Insights and Tips for Teenagers offers compassionate support for anyone struggling with the death of one or both of their parents. Through the stories of other teenagers who have lost a parent—as well as the author herself who lost her mother at a young age—you will see that you are not alone during this difficult time.

You will learn:

  • Valuable coping methods
  • Different ways to honor the memory of your loved one
  • Strategies and advice from fellow teenagers
  • How to navigate the first year and important milestones
  • Tips for seeking out a counselor

With expert advice, useful resources, relevant organizations, and even fictional movie references to provide additional perspective, Coping with Parental Death is a valuable guide to help you face the challenging road ahead with courage and care.
