Teenagers and Grief by Doris Zagdanski

(Updated edition of "Something I’ve Never Felt Before")

Grief can be overwhelming at any age, but for teenagers, the loss of a parent, sibling, friend, or even a beloved pet can be especially difficult to process. In addition to death, teenagers often experience grief through events like divorce, separation, remarriage, or the formation of a blended family. Other sources of emotional loss—such as losing a home, struggling with obesity, or facing poor body image—can also trigger deep feelings of sadness and confusion.

Teenagers and Grief is a compassionate and practical guide for both teens and their parents. It offers supportive strategies to help young people understand, express, and navigate their grief. Through real-life stories from teenagers, the book provides insight into the emotional complexity of adolescent loss and shows grieving teens that they are not alone.

For parents, this guide provides tools to support their child through difficult times, along with crucial advice on when professional help may be needed. Whether your teen is facing the death of a loved one or another form of significant loss, this book offers a path toward healing and understanding.
