Grief and Loss: Your Questions Answered

The information, guidance, and resources this book offers make it a valuable tool for anyone directly or indirectly affected by grief, particularly teens and young adults.

Although a near-universal experience, grief can be very difficult to talk about and handle. Many of the thoughts and emotions that arise during grief are powerful and can be isolating, confusing, and overwhelming. Dealing with grief in healthy ways is critical to accepting and adapting to the loss and the changes loss brings. This book makes the subject of grief approachable and accessible to readers through a simple Q&A format, covering topics such as what events are likely to cause grief, how experiences of grief differ, and how to find support when coping with grief.

Part of Bloomsbury's Q&A Health Guidesseries, Grief and Loss: Your Questions Answered follows a reader-friendly question-and-answer format that anticipates readers' needs and concerns. Prevalent myths and misconceptions are identified and dispelled, and a collection of case studies illustrates key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. Each book also includes a section on health literacy, equipping teens and young adults with practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the internet - important skills that contribute to a lifetime of healthy decision-making.
