Healing your grieving heart for teens
Alan Wolfelt
- Reading
- Dip into one idea at a time rather than treating the list as a set of tasks. Read together if wanted, and pause or seek support if a topic feels overwhelming.
- Themes
- Practical approaches to mourning: The book offers activities such as journalling, keeping mementoes, sharing memories and turning to trusted people for support. It presents mourning as something with varied feelings and possible ways of responding, through practical suggestions rather than a single prescribed activity.
- Worth knowing
- Death and grief are central, with specific sections on suicide, accidental death, illness and thoughts of self-harm. Consider whether the reader would welcome these topics now and whether support is available if they feel difficult.
