Arizona's Hospice of the Valley has put together an excellent grief resource for teens, which includes a booklet, "Teen Grief: Coping with the Loss of a Loved One," and three short videos that give a straightforward overview of grief, primarily in the words of bereaved teens themselves. The videos illustrate the sections of the booklet:
•"Teen Grief" defines grief, what it is and how it unfolds in a teen's everyday life.
•"Getting Through Grief" focuses on how to cope with grief, both in the year immediately after a death and over a lifetime.
•"Secondary Losses: Since You've Been Gone" looks at how a teen's perspective, roles, and relationships change in the aftermath of a loss.
The series combines expert information on the nature of bereavement with very personal stories from eight teenagers who have experienced the death of a loved one. In fact, the strength of the "Teen Grief" series is how these young people share a real picture of what their grief has been like and what their struggles still are. They certainly talk about the lessons they've learned and the growth they've experienced since their loss, but they also also tell of the sadness, confusion, pain, and difficulties they've encountered along the way.
