The kids especially were difficult to deal with so now that we're over the worst of it, I thought I'd share a few ways that I found to help teenagers cope with grief.When my Dad died, the hospital gave us some books about how to help the kids cope with their grief but when we got them home, they were really aimed at much younger children and really weren't suitable for teenagers cope with grief.We got home from the hospital about 4 am and the kids were obviously sound asleep by that … [Read more...]
