Death & Dying, Emotions & Feelings, Death 

What are you supposed to feel and say? Are you stuck or out of control? Do you get mad or do you get help? If you lose a friend, do you lose your cool? Do you reach out or shut down? What's the difference between grieving over the death of your dog or someone from school who's died? Is it possible to grieve for someone you don't even know? Is there a God?

This book won't give you answers. It couldn't, because there are no rules. Grief is what you make it.

From the moment you discover someone important to you has died to the moment you discover your ability to live on afterward, you make many personal choices about grief. It's hard work, too. Like life isn't hard enough already?

Each chapter in this guide can help you explore a different aspect of grief. You'll read personal stories of death and life from real teens like you; advice from a renowned grief counselor; and dozens of hands-on, creative exercises to help you move through your own pain and sorrow... into tomorrow.

Grief is not an ending. It is a beginning. Start here.
