Healing Your Grieving Heart for Teens: 100 practical ideas

Common Threads of Teenage Grief: A Handbook of Healing
Janet Tyson - Helm Publishing, 2005
This book is the culmination of a teenage grief support group in which members wrote of their losses and what helped them in that experience. It is obvious that this book is based in the reality of these nine young people's experiences and so will resonate with the rawness of grief which is felt, especially when grief is a new experience.
