A very well researched guide to help teens, and even adults navigate this difficult issue. Good resources, and not too harsh or childish.

Well-presented information. This should make a great addition to our non-fiction collection for any teens seeking help through a difficult time.

Compassionate and straightfoward, this book details ways to honor loved ones who have died while also leaning into and exploring grief in healthy ways. I read this one aloud with my 13 year old - we have dealt with much grief in the past few years - and they appreciated learning from others' experiences.

This book would be immensely helpful for teenagers in dealing with grief. The stages of grief are clearly laid out. How to manage your relationships, your body, and your mind are talked about. To emphasize that the teenager is not alone in dealing with grief there are quotes from other teenagers regularly included speaking about their experiences. These experiences cover a gamut and are not always dealing with straightforward grief, for example grief after the death of a drug addicted parent for one.

A very valuable resource for any classroom or home, written in a simple way that’s sure to get through to it’s target audience.

I am a high school special education teacher and I have my masters in psychology. I liked how this book was put in teenager friendly terms, had a variety of voices, and made references that would appeal to younger audiences. The writing makes this tough subject digestible and easy to read. My only suggestion would be to add pictures. The cover made it look like this book would be more visual and less text dense. This would make it less intimidating
