Winner, 2018 Book Excellence Award "An invaluable resource for parents, teachers, coaches, ministers, and anyone who has a teenager they love and want to help." - Glen Lord, President, Board of Directors, The Compassionate FriendsTeens are hurting. While trying to make sense of an increasingly confusing and troubled world, teens get hit, again and again, with moves, separations, divorces, rejections, substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, illness, disability, and death. Add teen suicide and school shootings into the mix, and young lives and hearts seem to be more at stake than ever before. Edgy, fun-loving, tech-driven, and seemingly indestructible, their souls are shaking. Gnawing questions surface from deep inside: "How did this happen? Why me? Is this my fault? What am I supposed to do? Who's next? Am I going to make it?" Teen hearts are at risk. Each one is a priceless treasure. We can't afford to allow pain and loss to get the better of them. What can we do?Multiple award-winning author, speaker, and grief specialist Gary Roe is a compassionate and trusted voice in grief recovery who has been bringing comfort, hope, encouragement, and healing to hurting, wounded hearts for many years.

Born of personal experience and more than three decades of interacting with grieving teens, this informative, practical handbook is replete with guidance, insight, and ideas for helping teens navigate the turbulent waters of loss. Though Teen Grief primarily focuses on losses due to death, the principles discussed can be applied to any loss a teen might be experiencing. In Teen Grief, you will learn... How large an issue teen grief is and how deep their pain goes. How the teen hearts tend to see and interpret loss, and how they attempt to manage it.

How you can walk with teens in their loneliness, confusion, and skepticism about life and the future. How you can be a safe person who cultivates hope in teen hearts.

Teen Grief also includes hints for group discussion so that this resource can also be used by school staff, across entire school districts, and in churches. Together, we can make a massive difference - one teen at a time. Parenting, education, teaching, coaching, quality relationships, personal health, diet, fitness, counseling, psychology, and therapy can all play a positive role in teen lives. If we can help them discover how to turn losses into gains and transform hardship into something productive, positive, and good, the ripple effects could be extraordinary.
