The Grieving Teen: A Guide for Teenagers and Their Friends

Helen Fitzgerald, a renowned expert in grief counseling, looks at the many different circumstances that make grief a part of a teenager's life -- from the death of a parent or grandparent after a long illness to the shock of the suicide of a friend -- and offers invaluable insights into a broad range of issues. Arguing that the needs of a grieving adolescent are very different from those of young children or adults, she discusses in detail the emotional impact of bereavement on young men and women who are simultaneously struggling through the difficult transition from childhood to adulthood. She covers, too, the unexpected, often disorienting repercussions that follow a death, from changes in family relationships and friendships to problems in school and "survivor's guilt".

Written with honesty and compassion, in language that will be easily understood by adolescents themselves, The Grieving Teen is a much-needed resource, one that will lessen the confusion and pain of grief and help teens renew their lives after the mourning period.

The Grieving Teen

A Guide for Teenagers and Their Friends

Introduction

In an earlier book, I wrote about a fifteen-year-old named Laura, whose unhappy situation as a young person whose needs were ignored continues to haunt me, for stories like hers remain largely unaddressed in the many books that have been written about death and dying. What Laura's story represents is the young person set somehow adrift by the illness or death of a loved one -- not intentionally, of course, but set adrift nonetheless. As Laura cried out in that story, "I'm hurting, too."

Today, it seems that there are more than a few Lauras out there, shattered and set adrift by the violence that has become almost commonplace in our country. I think of the friends and classmates, sisters and brothers whose lives were changed forever by crazed gunmen at places like Columbine High School in Colorado, Heath High School in Georgia, or Thurston High School in Oregon -- places once distant but now strangely united in tragedy. And I think of all those who have lost relatives and friends through accidents, illness, and self-inflicted wounds.

Why must I activate my Adobe Reader?

Many publishers require powerful copy protection for their eBook titles. In order for you to be able to purchase and download eBook titles that have been secured for distribution, you first need to activate your Adobe Reader. Just as a credit card typically must be activated by a bank before use, your Adobe Reader needs to be activated before you can purchase and read eBooks packaged for secure distribution.

Can I print or copy my Adobe ebook?

To protect copyrights, publishers and authors establish their own guidelines for how much of their eBooks can be printed or copied. This means that these permissions will differ from book to book. Each ebook file has a differing level of encryption which is controlled by the author/publisher at creation. For example, a publisher might give users the ability to print several pages of a cookbook within a set period of time. You'll see specifc settings for the Adobe title under the ebook description.
