"An amazing resource for teens, young adults, and really anyone dealing with grief. I love the specific quotes, concrete suggestions, and extensive resource list.

"Artfully depicting a message of hope for teens grieving the death of an important person and compassionate in sharing the wisdom of teenage peers, this book encourages grieving young adults to see themselves as the authors of their own paths ahead. It carries an incredibly significant message to teens living with grief. I will be proud to share this book and recommend it to others." --Carol Braden, LMHC Clinical Director, Brooke's Place for Grieving Young People "Rather than offering advice or prescriptions, Grief shares insights and perspective for teens experiencing the death of a loved one. The pages contain timeless wisdom from writers and poets, from movies and stories, paired with the words of six teens who've walked their own paths of grief. This book can help grieving teens find their way on a journey toward meaning." --Paul George, MS, LCSW, LMFT, Family and Trauma Counselor "Empowering. Teens are encouraged to take ownership of their grief and embark upon their own "hero's journey." Insightful array of life examples, from contemporary TV shows to ancient Greek history. Words of heroic figures like Nelson Mandela and Marcus Aurelius appear alongside the real-life voices of today's teens. A great book for teens and anyone seeking insights into grief." --Christopher Taelman, Chief Development Officer, The Hospice Foundation
