This is a great book for helping teens cope with the loss of a loved one, whether it was a close friend or family member. The book is written with short, easy to read sentences and paragraphs. The chapters are organized in useful topics like 'suicide', 'loss of a friend', 'long term illness' ... so the reader can locate those areas that pertain to their own situation. Having lost my own mother when I was just 16 (20 years ago) I have bought 3 copies of this book already - I give them out to teens who are grieving the loss of a loved one. If you are a teen grieving the loss of a loved one or if you are helping someone in this situation, I highly recommend this book.

This is the best thing available for young people dealing with loss from death. Small "bytes" for each day, language they can identify with. I keep a supply to give when there is need.

I'm a middle school guidance counselor. I give this book out far too often to students who have a parent or other loved one die. The kids say that it is helpful and easy to read. The pages aren't long and the type is big so they don't feel overwhelmed with too much information. I'd highly recommend this as I've heard from teenagers how it helped them.

I recently lost a loved one and my tharapist recamended this. It hurst to read, but im glad I did.

I bought this book for my 14 yr.old grandson who lost his mother and read it myself first when it arrived.It was candid and to the point to teens as the title states yet was helpful to me as well.
