The Grieving Teen is a guide for teenagers and their friends struggling with loss and gives them the tools they need to work through their pain and grief.
(Touchstone, 2000, $12.00)

The Grieving Child provides invaluable suggestions for dealing with a child's emotional responses (including anger, guilt and depression) and helping a child adjust to a new life. Parents of children from pre school age to the teen years will find much needed guidance.

This guide covers just about everything you can imagine on the topic of grieving death from a teenage perspective. The thing I liked most about this book was the tone the author used. Ms. Fitzgerald approaches her subject with compassion and realism. She attempts to normalize grief and to provide healthy ways of coping with death and grief. I would definitely recommend this book.

This is a good book that I can definitely see giving it or pieces if it to students who find themselves mourning.
I recommend!
