Grieving Teens Book Review

Amazon. Com offers readers the opportunity to provide feedback on the books they have purchased. Reading through the reviews of The Grieving Teen: A Guide for teens and their friends the book overall received positive reviews. One reader stated, “Helen Fitzgerald has all the experience needed to be an excellent source of what is "normal" for a teen who is grieving. There is so little out there to help a grieving teen but this book is a huge help. My daughter lost a friend 4 years ago when she was 12 and still struggles with the grieving process. I bought this book to help her but I read it first. The book is for a teen who has lost anyone close to them-friend, parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle. This book was recommended to me by someone
at Highmark Caring Place.” I think this speaks volumes to how practical Fitzgerald presents the grieving process. Additionally, the fact that the book is recommended by community centers speaks to its ability to be helpful in the grieving process. After, thorough research about Helen Fitzgerald and the opportunity to read the beginning of the book I would recommend this to my colleagues. Especially, those in the school setting. One of the strengths of the book is the ability of the reader to choose the starting place. Also, the book allows the reader to access specific information relevant to how they are grieving. Another strength of this book is it is written for a specific audience, it specific enough to the population of teens, but still able to help a child that is 12.
