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. Teens often struggle with loss and may feel alone, betrayed, or guilty. If left unsupported, bereaved adolescents and young adults can develop emotional and behavioral problems or depression, or even become suicidal. Dealing with grief in healthy ways is critical to accepting and adapting to the loss and the changes loss brings. Books in Greenwood's Q&A Health Guides series follow 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. Helps readers better understand and navigate the emotionally tumultuous experience of grief Makes the subject approachable and accessible to readers through a simple Q&A format Helps readers hone their research and critical thinking skills in a Guide to Health Literacy section Provides real-world examples of concepts discussed in the book through case studies Dispels popular misconceptions surrounding grief in a Common Myths section and points readers toward accurate information SortTitle: grief and loss: your questions answered Keyword(s): Complicated Grief ; Culture and Grieving ; Difference Between Grief and Sadness ; Expressions of Grief ; Helping a Grieving Individual ; Loss of a Friend ; Loss of a Parent ; Loss of a Pet ; Media Portrayals of Grieving ; Health and Wellness Author Info: Louis Kuykendall Jr. author Louis Kuykendall Jr. , DMin, is a hospice chaplain and United Church of Christ minister in Souderton, PA.
